Here comes the story, baby
That I want you all to know
It's 'bout what brought me down
What got me feeling low
Started out one day
And I took off down the road
Seeking' my fame and fortune
And trying to tow the load
One man's loss is another man's gain, ah yeah
Well now, one man's pleasure is another man's pain
I left my woman in Jacksonville
And I took off down the line
She had her way of thinking
And Lord knows I had mine
She couldn't take the pain
Of me not being home, yeah
Couldn't take the pain, baby
If staying all alone
One man's loss is another man's gain, ah yeah
Oh, tell the people, now, who's to blame
Now think about it, hear
Now when I left this town
It was for her and for me
But now I'm home all alone
With a paper that says I'm free
I guess I'll hit the road again
And I'll do what I do best, yeah
To hell with her, to hell with him
To hell with all the rest
One man's loss is another man's gain, ah yeah
Well now, one man's pleasure is another man's pain, oh-oh
Say, one man's loss is another man's gain, ah yeah
Oh, tell the people now, who's to blame?
