[Chorus]
I'm just a bad boy
Long long ways from home
I'm just a bad boy
Long long ways from home
But I've got nobody
To bury me when I'm dead and gone
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
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
Got to keep on moving
But I've got no place to go
[Chorus]
I'm just a bad boy
Long long ways from home
I'm just a bad boy
Long long ways from home
But I've got nobody
To bury me when I'm dead and gone
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
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
Got to keep on moving
But I've got no place to go
[Chorus]
