[00:00.00]Bad Man - Emitt Rhodes
[00:04.33]Felt unwanted and rejected as a child
[00:10.64]Was always evil talking dirty and running wild
[00:17.18]Caught red-handed thieving hubcaps as a teen
[00:22.90]Judge was lenient when you told him you'd go clean
[00:29.82]One year's probation just added to your frustration
[00:35.32]But a bad man's gotta pay once in a while
[00:41.38]Did your utmost to perfect the perfect crime
[00:46.87]Was apprehended in the phone booth stealing dimes
[00:54.21]Tried a thousand schemes and nothing made you rich
[00:59.26]Well every endeavor never fails to have a hitch
[01:06.90]Here's the place be quick it's time to face the music
[01:12.69]Cause the bad man's gotta steal to stay alive
[01:19.33]Now you're low and low is wearing mighty thin
[01:28.96]Yes you're low you're high and then you're low again
[01:42.59]You have precisely half a dozen phony names
[01:48.74]You've got no mercy and Lord knows you got no shame
[01:55.34]There's no one home now can't you see the house is dark
[02:00.42]Driveway's empty where a car is usually parked
[02:08.01]Now's the time to go through any unlocked window
[02:13.86]Cause a bad man's gotta earn a living too
[02:20.45]Now you're down and down and down is where they have you pinned
[02:30.11]Yes you're down you're up and then you're down again
