lyrics

When living is rough and life's got you on your knees
When lost all your luck and sold all your luxuries

Bring it on home to the lowest edge of town
You can beat an old dog but you ain't gonna keep us down

Did you lose the feeling?
Did ya sell the farm?
Tell me now who the hell’s gonna keep you warm?

Oh no baby don't you wanna go
Back on home, back to calamity row

Down on the row they all talk about the golden rule,
But it don't apply to them liars and god damned fools

When the law catches on they'd love to see us hang,
The streets might change but the song remains the same

Why don't you quit complaining
And go work for the man?
Are all your dreams just a flash in the pan?

Oh no baby don't you wanna go
Back on home, back to calamity row

We’re back on the row for ninety days or more
Braking them rocks on the banks of the eastern shore

So why don’t put on your suit and learn how to behave
You can sing for your bread with one foot in the grave

Ain’t living easy
When you’re high on the hog?
Tell me now where the hell did you go wrong?

Oh no baby don't you wanna go
Back on home, back to calamity row
