Lyrics

"You ain't nothing like your brother,"
My Daddy told me,
"You ain't nothing but trouble,"
I got a good one coming to me,
Somehow I always make my Mamma cry,
Still when I'm down, the first one by my side.

Chorus
She often wonders what I'm running from,
And how can I tempt fate so long,
She said, "Boy, you have been gone too long,
You've been doing too much wrong,
I know you ain't never been too strong,"
But your train won't wait too long
'Till it leaves this town,
It's up and gone,
And how could I tempt fate so long.

The welfare line never did feel right,
But there's the county court,
And they're in charge of my life,
My woman couldn't stay, she left me be,
She calls now and then,
Tries to keep me clear from the heat.

When Billy Johnson died,
I never cried,
Just remember hanging out,
Getting drunk in a little dive,
Getting high in the parking lot, Billy Johnson and I,
Hope I don't buy it like Billy
'Cause I don't want to die.
