Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I was nine I got a silver dollar
Got it hidden in my boot heel
I've bought and sold it a dozen times
Every time it was a bad deal
Bad luck and circumstance
Follow me all around
I could pick up all my things
And head right out of town
Swirls of dusty road in my rear mirror
Like the sign says it might be nearer

[verse]
Oh fate and misfortune
Waiting for me down the road
Doesn't matter where I've been
And it doesn't matter where I go
Yeah they always track me down
And it seems to me
Bringing me a load of heartache pain and misery
If I could find a place to go where trouble ain't waiting for me
I'd settle for a two-bit flat and a case in my rumble seat
[Chorus]
And that heartache pain and misery
It's coming down the road coming right after me
And that heartache pain and misery
It's coming down the road coming right after me

[Bridge]
(Instrumental Solo)

[Verse 3]
I tried everything I knew
Lost every game I played
If I could master, , a stratocaster
disaster could be delayed
Don't you bring me no heartache
Don't you bring me no pain
You can keep your misery
If it's all the same
Swirls of dusty road in my rear mirror
Like the sign says it might be nearer

[Chorus]
And that heartache pain and misery
Coming down the road coming right after me
And that heartache pain and misery
Coming down the road coming right after me
And that heartache that pain and that misery
It's coming down the road coming right after me
And that heartache that pain and misery
Oh coming down the road coming right after me
And that heartache that pain and misery
It's coming down the road it's coming right after me
Oh
