| 作曲 : Cooley, Drive By Truckers | |
| I came to tell my story to all these young and eager minds | |
| To look in their unspoiled faces and their curious bright eyes | |
| Stories of corruption, crime and killing, yes it's true | |
| Greed and fixed elections, guns and drugs and whores and booze | |
| It's been a while since | |
| I put on a suit of my own clothes | |
| And even longer since | |
| I cast my shadow on a church house door | |
| They say every sin is deadly but | |
| I believe they may be wrong | |
| I'm guilty of all seven and | |
| I don't feel too bad at all | |
| I used to have a wad of hundred dollar bills in the back pocket of my suit | |
| I had a .45 underneath my coat and another one in my boot | |
| I drove a big ole | |
| Cadillac, bought a new one anytime | |
| I pleased | |
| And I put more lawmen in the ground than | |
| Alabama put cottonseed | |
| I spent a few years on vacation, sanctioned by the state | |
| I mentioned | |
| But a man like me don't do no time too hard to come back from | |
| The meanest of the mean, | |
| I see you lock away and toss the key | |
| But they're all just loud mouth punks to me, | |
| I've scraped meaner off my shoe | |
| Somewhere, | |
| I ain't saying, there's a hole that holds a judge | |
| The last one that | |
| I dug myself | |
| And I must admit | |
| I was sad to lay him in it, but | |
| I did the best | |
| I could Once his | |
| Honor grows a conscience, well folks, that there just ain't no good | |
| There's a pretty girl out there said "Daddy, you stay cool tonight All I need from you is to come home and be here by my side Say what you gotta say to shut their Bibles and their mouths If they was to tie a noose, they'd have to lay their Bibles down" | |
| I ain't here to save no souls and even if | |
| I could I could never save enough to put back half the ones | |
| I took So if they rest in torment you can't say it's cause of me | |
| They'd long been bought and paid for like that fool's in | |
