It was half past nothing on a nowhere night
I had no one to love, I had no one to fight
So I took a walk down bad news avenue

I had a heart full of burden and a head full of booze
I had nothing to gain, I had nothing to lose
So I stepped inside a Tavern and began to play

Bad news bad news
I'm talking to you
I don't know your name
but I would love to

Next thing I hear "knock knock"
who that there at my door?
I hear "knock knock"
think she's back for more

Well I woke up in the morning with a bad old head
I had poison in my pocket and a body in my bed
If you can get it with small change it might as well be free

Well the sun came up and the [bad word] went down
I went looking through the gutter for the lost and found and that's when I saw you smiling back at me

Bad news bad news
I'm talking to you, child
I don't know your name
but I would love to

Next thing I hear "knock knock"
who that there at my door?
I hear "knock knock"
think she's back for more say it again

I hear knock knock, who that there at my door?
I hear knock knock, think she s back for more
