Lyrics

Ole Soledad
(c)Long/Brooks


I drove through the town of Ole Soledad
My mama's in prison there
She killed a man for touching her
My mama's got red hair

I thought outta pity I'd visit her
And I'd drive up to the gates
But the guards they'd ask me who I am
And I'm the man who hates

Love is a rat face
Son of a bitch

She said that man molested her
I know my mama lied
She killed him cause he touched her heart
That's how my daddy died

Love is a rat face
Son of a bitch

I remember the night they drove her away
The sheriff wrote down what she said
She said that man tried to steal my soul
I'm glad the bastard's dead

Love is a rat face
Son of a bitch

I drove through the town of Ole Soledad
My mama's in prison there
She killed a man for touching her
My mama's got red hair
