Cry For The Bad Man lyrics

CRY FOR THE BAD MAN

He walks so tall to be so small,
I`ve never net a man stranger.
Lives his life for the dollar sign
and to deal with him is dang`rous.
Well, he knocked me down but I`m on my feet,
now I`m so much wiser.
I`d rather quit that to go back home,
than to deal with the money miser.

Ah oo, let`s cry for the bad man.
Ah oo, I sing a song for the bad man.

Well, you treat me right, baby, I`ll treat you right,
that`s the way it`s supposed to be
but I put my faith down in my friend
and he almost put an end to me.
Well, I work seven days a week,
eight when I`m able.
When you take my money from me
you take food from my momma`s table.

Ah oo, let`s cry for the bad man.
Ah oo, I wrote a song for the bad man.

Ah oo, let`s cry for the bad man.
Ah oo, I wrote a song for the bad man.

Well, you treat me right, baby, I`ll treat you right,
that`s the way it`s supposed to be
but I put my faith down in my friend
and he almost put an end to me.
Well, when you take my money, baby,
when you hurt my family
it`s like walkin` through the swamps with no shoes
and step on a snake, it`s deadly.

Ah oo, let`s cry for the bad man.
Ah oo, I wrote a song for the bad man.

Ah oo, let`s cry for the bad man.
Ah oo, I wrote a song for the bad man.

- Gary Rossington, Allen Collins & Ronnie Van Zant
