Trouble come and trouble will
Find a way any shape or pill
There's just one thing left for me to do
Yeah I hate the trip but I've got to go
Let it stand and the record show
I did my best but I came out short again
So I better start then lose a fight
The sun don't shine in the dead of night
As a matter of fact honey nothing really does
Take it from me I know it's right
In the long dark night all cat's alike
They hiss and they scratch keep you up at night
But sooner or later it works out fine
Set the hook and toss the line
If I learned one thing it's everything and that
Like serpents hiss my women cry
Villains smile and blink their eye
Now I don't know what you've heard
But I didn't do that I promise
You see people talk and people lie
Mother's cry and soldiers die
And that's the way it works it seems today
Yeah take it from me I know it's right
In the long dark night all cat's alike
They hiss and they scratch keep you up at night
But sooner or later it works out fine
Set the hook and toss the line
So if I learned one thing it's everything and that
Now Kings and Queens and robbers too
Fairy tales got me black and blue
And Marty gets the girl
Cause he's a handsome son of a gun
But way out yonder on the checkered sky
The sun will rise and the questions why
Some men win and others are bound to lose
Yeah take it from me I know it's right
In the long dark night all cat's alike
They hiss and they scratch keep you up at night
But sooner or later it works out fine
Set the hook and toss the line
Yeah if I learned one thing it's everything and that
