If you're burned down on booze, got nothing to lose Run out of money, disposable blues Sleazy hotels, like living in hell The girls on the hustle with nothing to sell Want something for nothing, it's always the same Keep pushing and shoving, and I'm down on the game Always in trouble, forever detained Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye And good riddance to bad luck Well spread out the news, there's a free man loose Back out of jail, and chasing for flues Padlocks and chains, broken the chains Lay down a claim for monetary gains Wonder what's coming out for the take Freedom for loving and lust for the taste Eyes are wide open, (wild?) to the game Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye And good riddance to bad luck
