I'm just a bad boy, long long ways from home.

I'm just a bad boy, long long ways from home.

But I ain't got nobody to bury me when I'm dead and gone.



Well I'm the cat that scratches and I'm like a dog that bites.

I'll be your box of matches, baby, when you need a light.



Chorus



I used to have a little girl, only 16 years old,

But her mom and dad put me way out, way out in the cold.

I can't stay here no longer, my luck is running slow.

Gotta keep on moving but I ain't got no place to go.



Chorus
