Lyrics
With one sledgehammer fist he knocked him sprawlin on the floor, he found her in a tavern up in westside buffalo Charlie, he broke out of jail that night and left a note behind
And some pimp back in the corner, and i hope i didn t cause no trouble
he turned 18 in the parish courthouse facin 10 to life
i wasn t tryin to run away
but i m gonna spare your life
But he grabbed him by the collar and he pushed him to the wall, i wasn t tryin to run away
From a town in louisiana on the wrong side of the tracks, i wasn t tryin to run away
He said judge, and he headed for the door Band, till then i m hard to find
and he headed for the door
and some pimp back in the corner
Cause you don t get up in my face, and then he kicked him in his forked end, he was faster than a copperhead and he weren t afraid of hell
And some pimp back in the corner, till then i m hard to find
But my debts have all been settled and i ve come to do my time, he d been two years in prison when his cousin jay came down Daniels, and he headed for the door
he was harder than a hickory long and thinner than a rail
He turned 18 in the parish courthouse facin 10 to life, and he headed for the door, said i m lookin for the man who done my little sister harm
started makin himself small
But i m gonna spare your life, he went back to louisiana and he walked into the jail Charlie, you dont pull my big dogs chain
He went back to louisiana and he walked into the jail, but my debts have all been settled and i ve come to do my time, you gone regret it
He walked on down the sidewalk and hit the southern trail, he went back to louisiana and he walked into the jail, till then i m hard to find
you gone regret it
he said i had some business up above the bunkie line
and he headed for the door
Gave her a one way ticket home and pushed her out the door, he was harder than a hickory long and thinner than a rail The, and then he kicked him in his forked end
said his sister was in trouble in some far off northern town
he said judge
about some altercation in a beer joint with a knife
you don t call my mama names
You don t whistle in my kitchen, i wasn t tryin to run away
