By bonnie bramlett and eric clapton
I'm just a bad boy, long long ways from home.
I'm just a bad boy, long long ways from home.
But i ain't got nobody to bury me when i'm dead and gone.
Well i'm the cat that scratches and i'm like a dog that bites.
I'll be your box of matches, baby, when you need a light.
Chorus
I used to have a little girl, only 16 years old,
But her mom and dad put me way out, way out in the cold.
I can't stay here no longer, my luck is running slow.
Gotta keep on moving but i ain't got no place to go.
Chorus
