[Verse 1]
Why I married me a bad girl, tell you the reason why
Bad girls will even do things on the sly
Look for your dinner to be good and hot
She never even put a stew bone in the pot

[Chorus]
She's on the road again, sure as you're born
Natural born easy on the road again
She's on the road again, sure as you're born

[Verse 2]
Friend come by, say looking for his hat
Wants to know where your husband's at
I don't know, he's on his way to the pen
Come on pretty mama, let's get on the road again

[Chorus]
She's on the road again, sure as you're born
Natural born easy on the road again
She's on the road again, sure as you're born

[Verse 3]
Went to my house my front door was locked
Went 'round to my window, but my window was locked
Jumped right back, shook my head
Big old rounder in my folding bed
Jumped into the window, broke the glass
Never seen that little rounder run so fast
