I saw her standing on her front lawn
D G
Just a-twirling her baton
Cadd9 G
Me and her went for a ride, sir,
D G
And ten innocent people died
From the town of Lincoln, Nebraska
Sawed off .410 on my lap
To the badlands of Wyoming
I killed everything in my path
I can't say that I'm sorry
For the things we done
At least for a little while, sir,
Me and her we had us some fun
Now the jury sent in a guilty verdict
And the judge, he sentenced me to death
Midnight in a prison storeroom
Leather straps across my chest
Sherrif, when the man comes, pulls that switch, sir
And he snaps my poor head back
You make sure my pretty baby's
Sitting right there on my lap
They declared me unfit to live
Said into that great void, my soul' be hurled
You wanna know why I did what I did
Sir, I guess there's just a meanness in this world
