It's too bad, things are going so tough with me
Well it's too bad, things are going so tough with me
Well no matter what I do, seem like ev'rything happen to me

I used to have a car, and it was painted white an' black
I used to have a car, and it was painted white an' black
Well I couldn't keep up the payments, and the man, he took it back

Yeah!

Now I used to smoke cigars
The very best in town
But bad luck an' trouble
Is bound to get me down

It's too bad, things are going so tough with me
Well no matter what I do
Seem like ev'rything I do happen to me
