Back Up Against the Wall

I was dealin' up and down the highway Till they caught me with a heavy load They sentenced me to hard labor Workin' on the side of the road Now I don't deny I was guilty And I know I broke the law I was hungry and broke and couldn't see no hope And my back was up against the wall Now I'm right outside your window Honey, open up and let me in I broke out of jail this mornin' And I ain't never goin' back again I just had to stop by for a minute And I can't stay long at all 'Cause I gotta run you see I'm under the gun And my back is up against the wall I was shackled to a three-time loser A man named Jefferson One night we got to talkin' And I asked him what he'd done He said a man fell over my razor In the middle of a barroom brawl But don't you see it was him or me And my back was up against the wall Now I'm right outside your window Honey, open up and let me in I broke out of jail this mornin' And I ain't never goin' back again I just had to stop by for a minute And I can't stay long at all 'Cause I gotta run you see I'm under the gun And my back is up against the wall Now I'm right outside your window Honey, open up and let me in I broke out of jail this mornin' And I ain't never goin' back again I just had to stop by for a minute And I can't stay long at all 'Cause I gotta run you see I'm under the gun And my back is up against the wall I gotta run you see I'm under the gun And my back is up against the wall Yeah, I gotta run you see I'm under the gun And my back is up against the wall...
