Got up this morning
Got into my car
Turned on the motor
But it would not start
Late for work
Feelin` tired
Worst of all
I got myself fired
Lost my job
Got my pay
Lost it all
On the ace of spades
But all my troubles
Would be through
If I could make love with you
Things got bad
Out of work
I robbed a store
And I shot the clerk
Woman sweet woman
I done my best
But that got me surrounded
I been shot in my chest
I can hear `em comin`
Bustin` down the door
If I could only
See you once more
All my troubles
Would be through
If I could make love with you
(solo)
There`s a reason for this story
Morals to my sons
Ya better know what`s right
Ya better know what`s wrong
When it rains it pours
That`s natures way
We`re all little children
That forgot how to play
There ain`t but one thing
I got left to say
Somethin` don`t come from nothin`
You always gotta pay
But all my troubles
Would be through
If I could make love with you
