If you're burned down on booze, got nothing to lose
Run out of money, disposable blues
Sleazy hotels, like living in hell
The girls on the hustle with nothing to sell
Want something for nothing, it's always the same
Keep pushing and shoving, and I'm down on the game
Always in trouble, forever detained

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
And good riddance to bad luck

Well spread out the news, there's a free man loose
Back out of jail, and chasing for flues
Padlocks and chains, broken the chains
Lay down a claim for monetary gains
Wonder what's coming out for the take
Freedom for loving and lust for the taste
Eyes are wide open, (wild?) to the game

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
And good riddance to bad luck
