Ain't it good to be alive and be in Tennessee
When a man's been mistreated
When he been kicked around
He been laughed at and lied to
Oh, ya know, it keeps goin' down
When a man hits the bottom
One thing I know, yes I know
Ain't no place left to go
Ain't no place left to go
I've been locked down by a woman
Locked out in the street
I been locked up in a jail house
I've been locked into a bad bad dream
When a man hits the bottom
I'll tell you for sure
Ain't no place left to go
Ain't no place left to go
Blue is my color
Misery is my ball and chain
Thirteen is my number
Hard luck is my middle name
When a man hit the bottom
Tell you for sure
Ain't no place left to go
Ain't no place left to go
