I always live by the golden rule
Whatever happens ha don't blow your cool
You gotta have nerves of steel
And never show folks how you honestly feel
I lived all my life this way ha
For example take yesterday
I breeze home happy bringin' her my pay
Her note read so long savvy I haven't gone away
An' I threw myself down across our empty bed
An' this is what I said
Ooo shhhhiiiii ooow ooow ooow
What Oh what are you gonna do with me
Ooo wow uh
But I was cool
So I one for the roaded at a all night bar
I wound up so loaded I tore up my car
The judge threw the book at me
An' when I read the sentence there I said
Oow Please oooow ooow please I got to know I got to know
What what went wrong
I don't underst I oh a
But I was cool
So I said she's the only one that I have to pay
And I found her an' pulled my gun an' fired point blank
The shot whistled right past that woman's head
An' I killed my hound dog dead
Oooooow ruff ruff rrr rrr rrr rur rur rur
As they carried me away
I was overheard to say
Be cool be cool stay cool be cool
