You're looking at a man who's living in the wrong time
My mind's lost in my lonesome past
I wrote myself a sad song about troubles and a worried mind
And a do no good woman my first love and my last.
Well, I wanted the world to know her like I do
So I tried to paint her picture in a song
I sang the blues but the only words that I knew
Were do no good woman I love you right or wrong girl.
Lord, Lord, what's a good man gonna do.
--- Instrumental ---
From the streets of New Orleans to a penthouse in Chicago
I tried to play the lover for a time
But you just can't hold a woman in the night with the light's low
With a do no good woman always on your mind.
Look at me and you can see I've seen my better days
Hoping for better times to come.
Well, I never thought that love could drive a good man into his grave
but do no good woman,Lord, you d*** near got it done, girl.
