It ain't no use crying
It ain't my way
I couldn't spend a minute away
It ain't no use lying
I'm leaving today
And I'm singing what I could not say

It ain't no use calling
I ain't around
I'm haulin' ass to get out of this town
It ain't no use bawling
I'm heaven bound
And the love we make is drowning out the sound

I'm raisin' Cain
I'm raisin' Cain
I'm raisin' Cain
Same ol' same ol', all the same

Put me on a plane
Ship me on a boat
I'm dying to leave this place
Push me in a train
Or help me on the road
Just give me two drummers and a bass

I'm raisin' Cain
I'm raisin' Cain
I'm raisin' Cain
Make me famous, but never say my name

It ain't no use coming
It ain't your style
You'll keep up, but you'll limp after a while
You will walk that wretched walk
While the people lisp and talk
And jump off the nearest cliff after a mile

It ain't no use hating
The deed is done
You'll say your prayers while the morning comes
It ain't no use waiting
By midday sun
We'll make the bed and then I will be gone

I'm raisin' Cain
I'm raisin' Cain
I'm raisin' Cain
God takes the prize while Able slaughters Cain

I'm raisin' Cain
I'm raisin' Cain
I'm raisin' Cain
Same ol' same ol', all the same
