When I first come down here from the country

One way went nowhere

And the other, it carried a heavy load

Try to take a shortcut home
D em
And you end up back where you started again

Hurry down the alley with another man's woman

You don't care nothing about the ring on her hand

You think surely you can get away
D em
And sometimes maybe you can

But hypocrites we are forever more

Keeps our bellies so hungry
D em
And we all want to repent in the end
