He's got a bone to pick, he's got time to kill
He'll lay it on thick and stick you with the bill
He's got his foot in your door and his hand in the till
He is as slick as a greasy alibi
But you can catch him out the corner of your eye
Back in the alley loading up them dice
He's got a proposition
He'd like to speak to you outside
He's a no good man
He's a no good man
And I'm just like him
He's quick with an IOU and slow to the fight
He's got them photos of the preacher's wife
You can find him in the back pew with his hand upon her thigh
He's dealing one-eyed jacks from the bottom of the deck
Paying off the bookie with an out-of-state check
Snake oil in his smile, cheap whiskey on his breath
Your wedding ring's gone missing, but what did you expect?
He's a no good man
He's a no good man
He's a no good man
And I'm just like him
He come blowing into town with the next hurricane
Crawl into your life through that broke window pane
He's the tracks down your arm and the monkey in your vein
He's always at the table when the bottle's passed around
But when the water's rising, he's nowhere to be found
He's got a car parked just in case right outside of town
Lord help us when he comes around
He's a no good man
He's a no good man
He's a no good man
And I'm just like him
