Bad Things

You know, I was standin' by the river, watching my bridge burn down
I was standin' by the river, watching my bridge burn down
'Cause I've done a bad thing and I'm paying for it all right now
Oh, I've done a bad thing and I'm paying for it all right now, mm-hmm

Hey there, doctor, tell me what do you see
'Cause I got a bad disease, I'm in 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 as sick as me

Hey, mister bartender, you see my trembling hands
Oh, you know I need a drink and I need it so bad
'Cause I dont know, Lordy, what I just done
But you got me burning like a foxchild rebel under the sun

Now I'm shaking from all my misery
'Cause you ain't never met a man as wrong as me

And I know, know, know, I don't lie
'Cause I was taken over by the devil last night
And I know, know, know, when he come around
Well, I've done a bad thing and I'm paying for it all right now

Hey, mister Judge, you go and lock me up
'Cause I've been thinking things that I've 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 better lock your door and throw away the key
'Cause you ain't never met a men as guilty as me

And I know, know, know, I don't lie
Because I was taken over by the devil last night, whoa-oh-oh
And I know, know, know when he come around
Well, I've done a bad thing and I'm paying for 'em all right now

And I know, know, know, I don't lie
'Cause I was taken over by the devil last night, whoa-oh-oh
And I know, know, know, when he come around
Well, I've done a bad thing and I'm paying for 'em all right now

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