When I got off work today I was a happy man
Happy cause a good girl was waiting to hold my hand
But on my way home she passed with a friend
And I knew that bad times a-coming coming my way again
Bad times a-coming you’re gonna break my heart
Bad times a-coming you’re gonna wanna part
I know I can’t trust you now know I just can’t win
Oh bad times a-coming coming coming my way again
I’ve been working all days and night to buy things for you
Working and thinking you were being true
And just about the time I thought everything was right
I gotta feeling that bad times a-coming coming my way tonight
Bad times a-coming you’re gonna break my heart
You’ve got a new love now you’re gonna wanna part
I know I can’t trust you now know I just can’t win
Oh bad times a-coming coming coming my way again
