I feel that bad luck and trouble
Is all that joy brings
Seems like bad luck and trouble
Is all that joy brings
With my bad luck with me
Lord my troubles begin
Remember this old highway
Ever since I was a child
Nobody seen a woman
Nobody seen a kid
Bad luck and trouble
Man is all that joy brings
With my bad luck with me
Then my troubles just begin
Lord I'm sitting down here thinking
Man I'm a long, long way from home
Just sitting down here thinking
Man I'm a long, long way from home
Think about all my good times
Lord and the friends I once have known
Ain't never hurt nobody
Never done nobody wrong
Lotta people won't accept me they say
I'm sitting down here thinking
Man I'm a long, long way from home
Think about all my good times
Man and the friends I once have known
Man it ain't anybody else's troubles
I ain't gonna tell nobody else
Nobody else's troubles
Man I ain't gonna tell nobody else
The lone life I'm living baby
Gonna make it by myself
Is all that joy brings
Seems like bad luck and trouble
Is all that joy brings
With my bad luck with me
Lord my troubles begin
Remember this old highway
Ever since I was a child
Nobody seen a woman
Nobody seen a kid
Bad luck and trouble
Man is all that joy brings
With my bad luck with me
Then my troubles just begin
Lord I'm sitting down here thinking
Man I'm a long, long way from home
Just sitting down here thinking
Man I'm a long, long way from home
Think about all my good times
Lord and the friends I once have known
Ain't never hurt nobody
Never done nobody wrong
Lotta people won't accept me they say
I'm sitting down here thinking
Man I'm a long, long way from home
Think about all my good times
Man and the friends I once have known
Man it ain't anybody else's troubles
I ain't gonna tell nobody else
Nobody else's troubles
Man I ain't gonna tell nobody else
The lone life I'm living baby
Gonna make it by myself
