Lyrics

I'm a wacko from Waco, ain't no doubt about it Shot a man there in the head but can't talk much about it He was trying to shoot me, but he took too long to aim Anybody in my place, would have done the same I don't start fights, I finish fights, that's the way I'll always be I'm a wacko from Waco, you best not mess with me Joe Jamail said I was like a fly in buttermilk Trapped in a Waco bottle, I was bound to get kilt Dar Jamail said, "Billy, Houston's where you need to be If you're going back to Waco, you're leaving without me" It's nice to be important, more important to be nice If you're shootin' dice in Waco, you'll roll snake eyes every time I was born in Corsicana They said, "Billy can you do it?" I said, "O' course I can, just point it out and I'll get right to it" Corsicana, Texas, has been real good to me They knew I had to shoot that man before that man shot me I should have known the truth would set me free I guess living down in Waco made a wacko out of me A wacko from Waco is still on the run A singer, a writer, a son of a gun Don't cross him, don't boss him Stay out of his way Don't give him no trouble or you'll just make his day I'm damned if I don't damned if I do I'm a wacko from Waco I'm telling you the truth I'm damned if I don't, damned if I do I'm a wacko from Waco You finally heard the truth
