Got to get my head together
Throw my clothes in a bag
‘Cause I can’t go on forever
My conversation is a drag
Ain’t got no reason to be happy
Ain’t got no reason to be sad
But I just got reason to be mad

Catch a cab down to the station
Jump a fast movin’ train
For some distant destination
Won’t be back this way again
Ain’t got no reason to be happy
Ain’t got no reason to be sad
But I just got reason to be mad

Ain’t got no reason

Ain’t got no reason

If I ever get to see her
I won’t know what to say
‘Cause I still don’t wanna leave her
But my wife won’t let her stay
Ain’t got no reason to be happy
Ain’t got no reason to be sad
But I just got reason to be mad

Ain’t got no reason
