Lyrics for One Man's Pleasure

Here comes the story, baby That I want you all to know It's 'bout what brought me down What got me feeling low Started out one day And I took off down the road Seeking' my fame and fortune And trying to tow the load One man's loss is another man's gain, ah yeah Well now, one man's pleasure is another man's pain I left my woman in Jacksonville And I took off down the line She had her way of thinking And Lord knows I had mine She couldn't take the pain Of me not being home, yeah Couldn't take the pain, baby If staying all alone One man's loss is another man's gain, ah yeah Oh, tell the people, now, who's to blame Now think about it, hear Now when I left this town It was for her and for me But now I'm home all alone With a paper that says I'm free I guess I'll hit the road again And I'll do what I do best, yeah To hell with her, to hell with him To hell with all the rest One man's loss is another man's gain, ah yeah Well now, one man's pleasure is another man's pain, oh-oh Say, one man's loss is another man's gain, ah yeah Oh, tell the people now, who's to blame?
