    A Bm C Bm
    I've been run down.
  • I've been lied to.
    And I don't know why I let that mean woman make me a fool.
    She took all my money.
  • Wrecked my new car.
    And now she's with one of my good time buddies drinking in some cross town bar.

    But nothing seems to change. The bad times stay the same, and I can't run.
