Alabama's muggy and I
Kinda wore it out
I was born in Mobile and I
Made it out West somehow
Don't let it get around
They just might put me
Six feet underground
Cause I took my smoke wagon and I
Rolled into town
Held up the bank there and I
Gunned two men down
That ringing sound
I didn't really want to put 'em
Six feet underground
I guess I'm lost
And if I'm found
I reckon the Lord
Ain't gonna take me now
Mama cries Daddy's ashamed
I ain't got no one else to blame
Just myself, a wanted man
A nomad stranger in a wasted land
So if you can say a prayer
For someone who
Ain't anyone anywhere
Out here in the desert you know
There ain't hardly a sound except the
Old hard wind you know it
Sure does bring me down
Don't come around
Cause I don't really want to put you
Six feet underground
I'll live alone
I don't need no friends around
And I'll say a prayer Dear Lord
Forgive my wrongs somehow
I'll die alone out of a life
Made dark as coal
And if I go before I wake
I pray the devil don't get my soul
I guess I'm lost
And if I'm found
I reckon the Lord
Ain't gonna take me now
Mama cries Daddy's ashamed
I ain't got no one else to blame
Just myself a wanted man
A nomad stranger in a wasted land
So if you can say a prayer
For someone who
Ain't anyone anywhere
