[00:00.150]I came to tell my story to all these young and eager minds
[00:19.620]To look in their unspoiled faces and their curious bright eyes
[00:28.800]Stories of corruption crime and killing yes it's true
[00:36.810]Greed and fixed elections guns and d**gs and whores and booze
[00:52.320]It's been a while since I put on a suit of my own clothes
[00:59.610]And even longer since I cast my shadow on a church house door
[01:08.670]They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong
[01:16.260]I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all
[01:25.290]I used to have a wad of hundred dollar bills in the back pocket of my suit
[01:32.880]I had a 45 underneath my coat and another one in my boot
[01:42.390]I drove a big ole Cadillac bought a new one anytime I pleased
[01:49.890]And I put more lawmen in the ground than Alabama put cottonseed
[02:05.430]I spent a few years on vacation sanctioned by the state I mentioned
[02:13.260]But a man like me don't do no time too hard to come back from
[02:22.620]The meanest of the mean I see you lock away and toss the key
[02:30.450]But they're all just loud mouth punks to me I've scraped meaner off my shoe
[02:39.360]Somewhere I ain't saying there's a hole that holds a judge
[02:47.220]The last one that I dug myself
[02:49.770]And I must admit I was sad to lay him in it but I did the best I could
[03:03.630]Once his Honor grows a conscience well folks that there just ain't no good
[03:13.200]There's a pretty girl out there said Daddy you stay cool tonight
[03:18.720]All I need from you is to come home and be here by my side
[03:23.400]Say what you gotta say to shut their Bibles and their mouths
[03:28.320]If they was to tie a noose they'd have to lay their Bibles down
[04:30.420]I ain't here to save no souls and even if I could
[04:37.710]I could never save enough to put back half the ones I took
[04:46.860]So if they rest in torment you can't say it's cause of me
[04:54.630]They'd long been bought and paid for like that fool's in Tennessee
文本歌词
I came to tell my story to all these young and eager minds
To look in their unspoiled faces and their curious bright eyes
Stories of corruption crime and killing yes it's true
Greed and fixed elections guns and d**gs and whores and booze
It's been a while since I put on a suit of my own clothes
And even longer since I cast my shadow on a church house door
They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong
I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all
I used to have a wad of hundred dollar bills in the back pocket of my suit
I had a 45 underneath my coat and another one in my boot
I drove a big ole Cadillac bought a new one anytime I pleased
And I put more lawmen in the ground than Alabama put cottonseed
I spent a few years on vacation sanctioned by the state I mentioned
But a man like me don't do no time too hard to come back from
The meanest of the mean I see you lock away and toss the key
But they're all just loud mouth punks to me I've scraped meaner off my shoe
Somewhere I ain't saying there's a hole that holds a judge
The last one that I dug myself
And I must admit I was sad to lay him in it but I did the best I could
Once his Honor grows a conscience well folks that there just ain't no good
There's a pretty girl out there said Daddy you stay cool tonight
All I need from you is to come home and be here by my side
Say what you gotta say to shut their Bibles and their mouths
If they was to tie a noose they'd have to lay their Bibles down
I ain't here to save no souls and even if I could
I could never save enough to put back half the ones I took
So if they rest in torment you can't say it's cause of me
They'd long been bought and paid for like that fool's in Tennessee
