I've got my back to the sun 'cause the light is too intense   I can see what everybody in the world is up against   Can't turn back, you can't come back, sometimes we push too far   One day you'll open up your eyes and you'll see where you're      Sugar baby, get on down the road, you ain't got no brains, nohow   You went years without me, might as well keep goin' now      Some of these bootleggers, they make pretty good stuff   Plenty of places to hide things here, if you want to hide them bad enough   I'm staying with Aunt Sally, but you know she not really my aunt   Some of these memories, you can learn to live with   And some of 'em you can't      Sugar baby, get on down the line, you ain't got no brains, nohow   You went years without me, might as well keep goin' now      The ladies down in dark town, they're doin' the dark town strut   You always got to be prepared, but you never know for what   There ain't no limit to the amount of trouble women bring   Love is pleasing, love is teasing, love not an evil thing      Sugar baby, get on down the road, you ain't got no brains, nohow   You went years without me, might as well keep goin' now      Every moment of existence seems like some dirty trick   Happiness can come suddenly and leave just as quick   Any minute of the day, the bubble can burst   Try to make things better for someone sometimes you just end up   Makin' it thousand times worse      Sugar baby, get on down the road, you ain't got no brains, nohow   You went years without me, might as well keep goin' now      Your charms have broken many a heart and mine is surely one   You got a way of tearin' the world apart, love, see what you've done   Just as sure as we're livin', just as sure as you're born   Look up, look up, seek your maker, 'fore Gabriel blows his horn      Sugar baby, get on down the line, you ain't got no sense, nohow   You went years without me, might as well keep goin' now
