Street Fighter

Street fightin' man

He's a hard one, yes indeed

Just got in from Houston

Who knows when he'll leave

Made his reputation

In small town southern bars

Everyone respects him

Treats him like a star

Street fightin' man

You gotta watch yourself today

While you're on the run

Cover the tracks that you lay down

Your day is gonna come, yes it is

He's got a lady waiting

Back home in New Orleans

A Louisiana sweetheart

They call the Southern Queen

He promised her they'd settle down

And make a home someday

But he said, "Babe you've got to wait awhile

I've got one last debt to pay."

You gotta watch yourself today

While you're on the run

Cover the tracks that you lay down

Your day is gonna come

He met his man at Steeler's Inn

Where they play cards for pay

In a flash two shots were fired

And one man rode away

The crowd began to circle him

As he lay there dying

And in the night he thought he heard

His sweetheart lady crying

You better watch yourself today

While you're on the run

Cover the tracks that you lay down

Your day is gonna come
