Well here comes the story baby that I want you all to know,
`Bought what brought me down, what got me feeling low,
Started off one day and took off down the road.
Seeking` my fame and fortune, and trying to tote the load.
Chorus:
One man`s loss is another man`s gain.
One man`s pleasure is another man`s pain.
I left my woman in Jacksonville and took off down the line.
She had her way of thinking and Lord knows I had mine.
She could not take the pain of me not being home.
Couldn`t take the pain, baby, of staying all alone.
Chorus:
One man`s loss is another man`s gain.
One man`s pleasure is another man`s pain.
Now when I left this town it was for her and for me.
Now I`m home all alone, with a paper that says I`m free.
I guess I`ll hit the road again, and do what I do best.
To hell with her, to hell with him, to hell with all the rest.
Chorus:
One man`s loss is another man`s gain.
One man`s pleasure is another man`s pain.
Chorus:
One man`s loss is another man`s gain.
One man`s pleasure is another man`s pain.
Now tell me people, who`s to blame?
