"No Good Name" lyrics

"No Good Name"

Been dealin' with a no-good name
Since I took my first breath
It'll be there on my stone
Long after I'm dead
Might be where I come from
Yeah, it ain't who I am
'Cause a man makes a name
A name don't make a man

I got a no-good name
But I ain't to blame
Ain't it a goddamn shame
This no-good name

Some folks call me mister
Others just call me out
Some folks call me a son of a bitch
When I ain't around
Call me what you want to
Yeah, call it what you will
When it comes right down to it
I'm just another hole to fill

I got a no-good name
But I ain't to blame
Ain't it a goddamn shame
This no-good name

It's cursin' me, it's hauntin' me
It follows me to sleep
I've been dealin' with the consequences
Of my family tree
And Heaven only knows
Where I'm goin' when I go
I said all that I know
Hey, all that I know

I got a no-good name
But I ain't to blame
Ain't it a goddamn shame
This no-good name
