Some days I feel like my shadow`s casting me
Some days the sun don`t shine
Sometimes I wonder what tomorrow`s gonna bring
When I think about my dirty life and times
One day I came to a fork in the road
Folks, I just couldn`t go where I was told
Now they`ll hunt me down and hang me for my crimes
If I tell about my dirty life and times
I had someone `til she went out for a stroll
Should have run after her
It`s hard to find a girl with a heart of gold
When you`re living in a four-letter world
And if she won`t love me then her sister will
She`s from Say-one-thing-and-mean-another`s-ville
And she can`t seem to make up her mind
When she hears about my dirty life and times
Some days I feel like my shadow`s casting me
Some days the sun don`t shine
Sometimes I wonder why I`m still running free
All up and down the line
Gets a little lonely, folks, you know what I mean
I`m looking for a woman with low self-esteem
To lay me out and ease my worried mind
While I`m winding down my dirty life and times
Who`ll lay me out and ease my worried mind
While I`m winding down my dirty life and times
