Bad news is come to town
And he's walking three feet off the ground
And he's ordering another round
Bound by his own ideas
Lost, doesn't know where she is found
Bad news is fighting mad
Because he went and lost the biggest prize he ever had
And a prizefighter can't be sad
When he smiles under golden lights
And laughs, taking big life bites again and again
Bad news is come to town
And he's walking three feet off the ground
He's ordering another round
Bound by his own ideas
Lost, doesn't know where she is found
Bad news is fighting mad
Because he went and lost the biggest prize he ever had
And a prizefighter can't be sad
When he smiles under golden lights
And laughs, taking big life bites again and again
Bad news has come to town
[Neil Young Archives Volume II version]
Bad news is come to town
And he's walking three feet off the ground
He's ordering one more round
Bound by his own ideas
Lost, doesn't know where she is found
Bad news is fighting mad
He went and lost the biggest prize he had
But a prizefighter can't be sad
When he smiles under golden lights
And laughs, taking big life bites again
Bad news is come to town
Bound by his own ideas
Lost, doesn't know where she is found
Bad news is come to town
