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
Feel like 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 ain't gonna be alone
I'm sitting down here thinking
Lord I'm a long, long way from home
Thinking 'bout my good times
Man and the friends I once have known
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
Version 2
I believe that bad luck and trouble
Man is all that joins us
I mean that bad luck and trouble
People that's all that joins us
When my bad luck quit me
Lord, my trouble just began
I'm travelin' the highway
Since I was a child
Nobody see no woman man
Nobody seems to care
Bad luck and trouble
Man, is all that joins us
When my bad luck quit me
Man, my trouble just began
Lord, I'm sittin' down and thinkin'
Man, I'm a long, long way from home
Just sittin' down and thinkin'
Man, I'm a long, long way from home
Think about all my good times
Lord, and my friends all want to know
They never hurt nobody
They never done nobody wrong
Other people won't accept me they say
Man, leave me alone
Sittin' down and thinkin'
Lord, I'm a long, long way from home
Thinkin' about my good times
Man, and my friends all want to know
I gonna tell nobody else
Nobody else has this trouble
Man, ain't gonna tell nobody else
My whole life I'm livin' baby Gonna make it by myself
