Chorus:
E
I'm just a bad boy,
Long long ways from home.
            A
I'm just a bad boy,
                     E
Long long ways from home.
B
But I ain't got nobody
C           B7                E
To bury me when I'm dead and gone.

E
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

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
