Lyrics
Dark Cloud
There's a dark cloud on my shoulder
A hell hound on my tail
Got one woman says she loves me
The other wants to throw my ass in jail
Each night I pray for the strength
To help my spirit to prevail
Never had nobody
No one to call my own
Just a pony made of iron
And a heart that's made of stone
If I didn't have my troubles
I'd be in this world all alone all alone
Bridge
And I don't remember how I got so jaded
Guess this ole world's been just too hard on me
But please don't you think that your sweet love's gonna save me....
'cause I'll leave you in misery
Now don't you try and love me
I'll turn your laughter into pain
Turn your joy into sorrow
Turn your sunshine into rain
Just let me slip right out your door babe
Set me on the street again
Just let me ride, let me slide
Just let me ride, baby let me slide
Just let me ride
