Rainbow Ride

I was mindin' my business the other day just jukin' on down the street 
  When I seen this perfect stranger and he come slidin' up next to me 
  He said friend my old lady just threw me out and why I just don't know 
  But it ain't no joke cause I'm hungry and broke I got no place to go 
  I gave him my last twenty dollar bill and told him to go on home 
  And leave me alone 

  I don't want nobody whinin' at me I don't need nobody moanin' to me 
  I don't want nobody cryin' on me I've got troubles of my own 

  Well I went on down to this joint in town and foundsomethin' I didn't expect 
  I was having a ball when the door flew open and who walked in but my ex 
  She said your alimony payments' way behind it's six months over due 
  And if you don't straighten this out right now I'mgonna call the law to you 
  I said baby you'd better remember every dog's gonna have his day 
  And I just want to say 

  I don't want nobody whinin' at me...

  The cops came through the front door and I went out the back 
  And I caught me a ride on a west bound freight trainrollin' down the railroad track 
  I went on out to east St Louis and looked up this old friend of mine 
  I said I need a place to lay my head and brother I ain't got a dime 
  He said you'd better get on outta here hoy and he pulled out a gun 
  And I started to run 

  I don't want nobody whinin' at me...
