Kishore Kumar Hits — Emitt Rhodes - Bad Man lyrics

Artist: Emitt Rhodes

album: The Emitt Rhodes Recordings (1969-1973)

Rhodes
Felt unwanted and rejected as a child
Was always evil talkin', dirty and running wild
Caught red-handed thieving hubcaps as a teen
Judge was lenient when you told him you'd go clean
One year's probation just added to your frustration
But a bad man's gotta pay once in a while
Did your utmost to perfect the perfect crime
Was apprehended in the phone booth stealing dimes
Tried a thousand schemes and nothing made you rich
Well every endeavor never fails to have a hitch
Here's the place be quick it's time to face the music
Cause the bad man's gotta steal to stay alive
Now you're low and low is wearing mighty thin
Yes you're low, you're high and then you're low again
You have precisely half a dozen phony names
You've got no mercy and Lord knows you got no shame
There's no one home now can't you see the house is dark
Driveway's empty where a car is usually parked
Now's the time to go through any unlocked window
Cause a bad man's gotta earn a living too
Now you're down and down and down is where they have you pinned
Yes you're down, you're up and then you're down again
