Lyrics

Ever since I was 4 years old
My papa told me I was bad
Yeah I was rotten to the core
I?d only make my mama sad

I broke from school and I ran so free
I never did what I was told
I learned a hard life from the streets
Didn?t think I?d ever get old

Some things didn?t ever change
Cause I?m the man with no name


Melted fingertips in acid bath
Kicked a dog in the teeth
Well I was rotten and I was mean
I kept my conscience outta reach

On the run from the arm of the law
Rap sheet from head to toe
There?s nothing legal on my mind
Cause the time slips by too awful slow

I know things will be always be this way
Cause I?m the man with no name


No identity since 1963
I?ve got no place to call home
No place to lay my head; can?t curl up in a bed
There?s no ringing on the phone


I tumbled with the tumble weeds
Went for a roll with the dice
I sucked the juice of the prickly pear
At least once or twice

Found the house with the blue lights on
At the crossroads with a soul to sell
I?ve been down to lonesome town
Took a trip to heartbreak hotel

All these places look the same
Cause I?m the man with no name
