Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Bad news travels like wild fire
Good news travels slow
They all call me wild fire
Everybody knows
[Verse 2]
Hell, I'm bad news
Everywhere I go
Always gettin' in trouble
Leavin' them girls that hate to see me go
[Verse 3]
They tried to hang me in Oakland
Then they did in Francisco
But I wouldn't choke, hell no, I broke that rope
They had to let me go
[Verse 4]
Son, I'm bad news
Everywhere I go
Always gettin' in trouble
Leavin' little girls that hate to see me go
[Verse 5]
Well, from north to south, and east to west
The story's all the same
One state to another
I had to change my name
[Verse 6]
I'm bad news
Everywhere I go
Always gettin' in trouble
Leavin' them girls that hate to see me go
[Verse 7]
I picked the peaches in Georgia
I lumberjacked in Maine
I've been hired, and fired, and jailed
In any town you could name
[Verse 8]
Son, I'm bad news
Everywhere I go
Always gettin' in trouble
Leavin' them girls that hate to see me go
