A5
I better keep myself from being busted

A5
I better keep myself out of jail

A5
'Cause I ain't got a friend to get me trusted

A5                                                C5
That's why my mama sends my money through the mail
[Pre-Chorus]
A5
I've been down on my luck

A5
I've been down on my wealth

A5
I'm got to stop taking care of business

A5
Start taking care of my health
[Chorus]

A5
Well, I set off down the main street

A5
With such a long, long way to go

A5
But before I started I was cornered on the corner

A5
Still waiting for my sugar to show
[Pre-Chorus]
A5
I've been down on my luck

A5
I've been down on my wealth

A5
I've got to stop taking care of somebody's else's business

A5
Start taking care of myself
[Chorus]

A5
I was fooling around with the sheriff's daughter

A5
She was a real fine fox

A5
But the sheriff he came after

A5
And threatened to lock me in a cell box
[Pre-Chorus]
A5
He showed me his Magnum

A5
He showed me his shotgun

A5
He shoved it in my face

A5
And said, "Boy, I think you best be gone"
[Chorus]
