Bad Things

I was standing by the river watching my bridge burn down

I was standing by the river watching my bridge burn down

Cause I done a bad thing and I'm paying it for all right now

Oh I've done a bad thing and I'm paying it for all right now

Hey there doctor, tell me what do you see?

Cause I got a bad disease and need of your remedy

And I've been aching from my head to my toes

I've been aching so much that I just don't ache no more

But there is a one thing that I need you to see

And you ain't never met a man sick as me

Hey mister bartender

You see my tremblin' hands

You know I need a drink and I need it so bad

Cause I don't know, lordy what I just done

But you got me burning like a foxchild rebel under the sun

And now I'm shaking from all my misery

Cause you ain't never met a man as wrong as me

And no, no, no, I dont lie

Cause I was taken over by the devil last night

And I know, know, know, when he come around

I've done a bad thing and I'm paying for it all right now

Hey mister Judge, you gonna lock me up

Cause I've been thinking things that I should not thinkin' of

Go and hide all your brothers, go and hide the knife (night?)

You got me creepin' though the dark in the middle of the lonely night

You'd better lock your door, n' throw away the key

Cause you ain't never met a man as guilty as me

And I no, no, no, I don't lie

Cause I was taken over by the devil last night

And I know, know, know, when he come around

And I've done bad a thing and I'm paying for it right now

And I no, no, no, I don't lie

Cause I was taken over by the devil last night

And I know, know, know, when he come around

Well I've done a bad thing and I'm paying for it all right now
