Spent my last thirty dollars for a ticket on a greyhound Tried to get due north, everything’s gone southbound Finally found my woman at a truck stop diner With a stone on her finger looking bigger than China Bring it on Jesus, won’t you give it to me? My skin is twice as thick as it’s got any right to be If it ain’t one thing, it’s another If it ain’t one thing, it’s another Caught a Westbound ride in a blood-red Astro Thought we’d go to Vegas but he dropped me in the Castro Got high with a hussy and she gave me a gun Then we robbed a bank, now we’re on the run Lord don’t bring me home yet, still not ready to return I know heaven’s gates awaits But I’ve still got hellfire to burn You can hang me from the gallows, you can drown me in the sea My skin is twice as thick as it’s got any right to be If it ain’t one thing, it's another (one thing it's another) If it ain’t one thing, it’s another (one thing it's another) If it ain’t one thing, it’s another (one thing it's another) If it ain’t one thing, it’s your mother (one thing it's your mother) If seen things that ain’t no one s’posed to see I’ve slept alone when nobody wanted me Now that every bubble’s burst I still expect the worst But at least I'm walking free Sometimes you look around, there’s not much left to fight Sometimes you can’t explain the things you did last night Just keep in mind that every left turn will be right on, brother If it ain’t one thing, it’s another If it ain’t one thing (one thing), must be something (something) If it ain’t one thing (one thing), it’s another If it ain’t one thing (one thing), must be something (something) If it ain’t one thing (one thing), it’s your mother Sometimes you look around, there’s not much left to fight Sometimes you can’t explain the things you did last night Just keep in mind, boy, every left turn will be right on, brother If it ain’t one thing, it’s another One thing (one thing, one thing, something), it’s another One thing (one thing, one thing, something), it’s another
