Bad Things

You know 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 payin' it for all right now

Oh, I've done a bad thing and I'm payin' 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

Well, 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 Mr. Bartender, you see my tremblin' hands

Oh, 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 burnin' like a fox child 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 don't lie

'Cause I was taken over by the devil last night

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

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

Hey Mr. 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

'Cause you got me creepin' though the dark

In the middle of the lonely night

You'd better lock your door and throw away the key

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

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

'Cause I was taken over by the devil last night

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

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

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

'Cause I was taken over by the devil last night, oh

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

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

Yeah, I've done a bad thing and I'm payin' it for all right now

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