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
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
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
