[Chorus]
Goin' down the road feeling bad
Goin' down the road feeling bad
Goin' down the road feeling bad, bad, bad
I don't want to be treated this a-way

[Verse 1]
Going where the climate suits my clothes
Going where the climate suits my clothes
Going where the climate suits my clothes
I don't want to be treated this a-way

[Chorus]
Goin' down the road feeling bad
Goin' down the road feeling bad
Goin' down the road feeling bad, bad, bad
I don't want to be treated this a-way

[Instrumental break]

[Verse 2]
Going where the chilly winds don't blow
Going where those chilly winds don't blow
Going where those chilly winds don't blow
I don't want to be treated this a-way
