Lyrics

I saw her standin' on her front lawn
Just-a twirling her baton
Me and her went for a ride, sir
And ten innocent people died
From the town of Lincoln, Nebraska
With a sawed off .410 on my lap
Through to the badlands of Wyoming
I killed everything in my path
[Verse 1]
I can't say that I'm sorry
For the things that we done
At least for a little while, sir
Me and her, we had us some fun
[Verse 2]
Now, the jury brought in a guilty verdict
And the judge, he sentenced me to death
Midnight in a prison storeroom
Leather straps across my chest
[Verse 3]
Sheriff, when the man pulls that switch, sir
And snaps my poor head back
You make sure my pretty baby
Is sitting right there on my lap
[Verse 4]
They declared me unfit to live
Said into that great void, my soul'd be hurled
They wanted to know why I did what I did
Well, sir, I guess there's just a meanness in this world
