I'm goin' down the road feelin' bad.
Oh, I'm goin' down the road feelin' bad.
I'm goin' down the road feelin' bad, Lord, Lord,
And I ain't gonna be treated this-a-way.

 

I'm goin' where they never sing the blues.
Oh, I'm goin' where they never sing the blues.
I'm goin' where they never sing the blues, Lord, Lord,
And I ain't gonna be treated this-a-way.

 

I'm goin' an I ain't never comin' back.
Oh, I'm goin' an I ain't never comin' back.
I'm goin' an I ain't never comin' back, Lord, Lord,
And I ain't gonna be treated this-a-way.
