I left home when I was just about 14 Never had nothing I could call my own

Long time ago there was no sign of it giving good I knew I'd have to move, yeah baby, while I still could

Cause I'm a mean man, why could I be mean all over this town?

Yeah, I'm a mean man, why would I be mean all over this town? Yeah, I'm a real mean man, I'm gonna repay you

Yeah, I'm a real mean man, why would I be mean all over this town?

Down in the sticks, just about midnight

It's the best time to hit, yeah, whatever thing feels right Take a glass of wine and hit them with all you got

Devastation all around, I think I better leave here quick

Yeah, I'm a real mean man, why would I be mean all over this town? Yeah, I'm a real mean man, look out, I'm coming to get you

Cause I'm a mean man, just about the hard times ahead I'm a real mean man, why would I be mean all over this town?

Don't walk out on lonely page, cause I want my room ready

Why go on to the middle man?

Devastation

Yes, you're the reason
