Well here comes the story baby that I want you all to know,
´Bought what brought me down, what got me feeling low,
Started off one day and took off down the road.
Seeking´ my fame and fortune, and trying to tote the load.

One man´s loss is another man´s gain.
One man´s pleasure is another man´s pain.

I left my woman in Jacksonville and took off down the line.
She had her way of thinking and Lord knows I had mine.
She could not take the pain of me not being home.
Couldn´t take the pain, baby, of staying all alone.

One man´s loss is another man´s gain.
One man´s pleasure is another man´s pain.

Now when I left this town it was for her and for me.
Now I´m home all alone, with a paper that says I´m free.
I guess I´ll hit the road again, and do what I do best.
To hell with her, to hell with him, to hell with all the rest.

One man´s loss is another man´s gain.
One man´s pleasure is another man´s pain.

One man´s loss is another man´s gain.
One man´s pleasure is another man´s pain.

Now tell me people, who´s to blame?
