I’ve lived in the lonely city
I crawled out from the lonely city, singin’...

Now I’m back in my hometown county
Doin’ jack in my hometown county, singin’...

I can’t make no God damn money
I just can’t make no money, singin’...

I travel to the busy city,
I crawl out to the busy city, singin’...

There I’m gonna make me some money,
People there gonna give me some money, while they’re singin’...

Got a song for the busy city,
I wrote a song for the busy city,
But will they ever stop and listen...? Please stop and listen...

I haven’t slept for days,
I got you on my mind,
Block the sun with these shades,
That I hide behind,
Yeah, I’m on the right path,
But you’re leading me astray,
Sure, I try to hide it,
But you’re too good at bringing out the bad in me.

Bringing out the bad in me,
Bringing out the bad in me,
Bringing out the bad in me,
Yeah, you’re too good at bringing out the bad in me.

Thought I was free from these chains,
But I’m back to old ways,
It runs deep in my veins,
And leaves a bitter taste,
Yeah, I’m the boss man,
But who’s the boss of me?
I used to call the shots,
But you’re too good at bringing out the bad in me.

Bringing out the bad in me,
Bringing out the bad in me,
Bringing out the bad in me,

Yeah you’re too good at bringing out the bad in me

I had a dream of the future
Storm clouds had gathered above

A blues that spread like a wildfire

'could only beat this with love

I’m gonna fight this and be strong
No fear gonna come round my way

Together we'll fight the battle
Blues you’ve out welcomed your stay

Gonna tilt my face up,

The future’s bright ahead,

Gotta get my hope on

Gonna lift my head high,

Gotta get my faith strong

Can I get an oh yeah,

Blues go away

Sun’s gonna shine, things'll get better

Clouds gotta get moving on
We conquer this thing together
Blues gonna go, gonna stay strong

Blues gonna go, gonna stay strong

Soul Sister, won’t you talk to me
Noose around my neck, the way it’s always been
And I can’t get ahead, ‘cause I keep slip slip slipping away
Soul Brother won’t you walk with me
Weights around my feet the way it’s always been
And I can’t get ahead, ‘cause I keep slip slip slipping away yeah
Be thankful for the lot that you’ve got and no more
Be thankful for the lot that you’ve got and no more, no more, no more.

I'm going back home this time,
Way back to where I belong,
I left a long time ago,
Don't recognise it no more,

Woah Yeah Yeah

She left me nothing to keep, Yeah,
Shot like a dog in the street,
But I trust her every time,
Can't get the girl off my mind,

Woah Yeah Yeah

So much for a happy end,
Took right off with my best friend,
Now I'm going home again,
For the first time in a while,

I'm going back home this time,
Way back to where I belong,
I left a long time ago,
Don't recognize it no more
