The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I'm broken down dirty on a one-way street

I'm broken down dirty with nothin' to eat

I'm just a gypsy child

And I know what's mine

No use in tryin' to save me

'Cause baby, I'm just doin' time

Well, I never had a place that I could call my own

I been broke out and runnin' since the day I was born

I'm livin' on the line

No use in tryin' to save me

'Cause baby, I'm just doin' time, yeah

Ooh I've got no money in my pockets, I got holes in my shoes

They say when you got nothin', you got nothin' to lose

I get so tired and lonely, I don't care anymore

So back up every jack and I'm kissin' the floor

No use in tryin' to save me

'Cause baby, I'm just doin' time

So take me back down the road

'Cause it's the only way that I know

Just take me back down the road

No use in tryin' to save me

'Cause baby, I'm just doin' time

Do it, boy

So take me back down the road

'Cause it's the only way that I know

Just take me back down the road

No use in tryin' to save me

'Cause baby, I'm just doin' time

That's right

Bring it on, james

Somebody call a doctor

Need a medicine man

She put some funk and voodoo

In a one night stand

She can mess up my heart

She can mess up my mind

You know she'll never change me

'Cause baby, I'm just doin' time

Here we go

So take me back down the road

'Cause it's the only way that I know

Just take me back down the road

No use in tryin' to save me

'Cause baby, I'm just doin' time

Come on

Yeah, yeah

I'm just doin' time

Ooh baby

I been down since I don't know when

I got these worn out shoes as my friend

I'm just

Come on

I know you hear me callin'

I said come on, baby

I know you hear me callin'
