Sometimes your luck, it gets so bad

Baby, you'll be better off if you should die

Baby, I've tried so hard to forget

People I've tried so hard to forget

I can't stop my mind wandering

Back to the days I was just a down trodden kid

Some folks get such a good life

You know, they just get on the big train, and they ride

Some folk get such a good life

You know, they just get on that big train, and they ride

I would spend most of my days

Running and hiding from the world outside

If I ever get to heaven

Ever get to heaven

When I find that place in the sky

People, I'm gonna leave this old world behind
