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

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

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, yeah

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

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
