Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Only three stops to make in Alabama
Every one a one-night stand
Workin' for a man down South Louisiana
'Cause Z.Z. ain't his only band
[Verse 2]
Business has been good or bad
But sittin' here will drive me mad
[Verse 3]
And I'm gonna get back where they want me
Get back where they want me
Get back where they want me
Make a stand, I'm gonna take it like a man
[Verse 4]
Met a stray woman, I think it was in Texas
She was made for those who'd pay
Got a little drunk and raised a mild ruckus
The city said I could not stay
[Verse 5]
I guess I'm gonna have to change
Until my life is rearranged
[Verse 6]
You know I'm gonna get back where they want me
Get back where they want me
Get back where they want me
Make a stand, I'm gonna take it like a man
[Verse 7]
I guess I'm gonna have to change
Until this life is rearranged
[Verse 8]
I'm gonna get back where they want me
Get back where they want me
Get back where they want me
Make a stand, I'm gonna take it like a man
[Verse 9]
Take it like a man, yeah
I'm gonna take it like a man
I'm gonna take it like a man, yeah
Play it, Richard
Ow, ow
Ow, ow
