From:
I saw her standin'
on her front lawn
just twirlin' her baton
Me and her went
for a ride sir
and ten innocent people died
From the town of
Lincoln Nebraska
with a sawed off .410
on my lap
Through to the badlands
of Wyoming
I killed everything
in my path
I can't say that
I'm sorry
for the things that
we done
At least for a
little while sir
me and her we
had us some fun
Now the jury
brought in a guilty verdict
and the judge he
sentenced me to death
Midnight in
a prison storeroom
with leather straps
across my chest
Sheriff when the man pulls
that switch sir
and snaps my
poor head back
You make sure my
pretty baby
is sittin' right there
on my lap
They declared me
unfit to live
said into that great void
my soul be hurled
They wanted to know why
I did what I did
Sir I guess there's just a meanness
in this world.
