Lyrics

SITTIN? IN A HOTEL ROOM, WITH A SHOTGUN, LYING ACROSS MY LAP
OOOOOOH ? IS THIS HOW IT ENDS?
I?M WATCHIN? THE LIGHTS, AS THE CARS GO BY, BUT I AIN?T SEEN A BLUE CADILLAC
OOOOOOH ? OF MY DEAR OLD FRIEND
I WAS WORKIN? IN A CAR WASH, TRYNNA MAKE A DOLLAR, TRYNNA BE AN HONEST MAN
OOOOOOH ? THEN HE CAME MY WAY
WELL, HE WAS FLASHIN? THAT MONEY LIKE IT CAME WITH THE RAIN, AND I COULD HAVE IT
OOOOOOH ? NOW I?M A WANTED MAN

OOOOOOH ? IT?S ALL OVER
FOR THE TENNESSEE BOY WHO LOST HIS PRIDE
THE LAW ----- MAY EXECUTE ME
BUT I?LL PAY THAT PRICE AFTER I WATCH HIM DIE
I?LL PAY THAT PRICE AFTER I WATCH HIM DIE

DRIVIN? THROUGH THE TORN UP STREETS OF LAVERGNE, THINKIN? NOTHIN? BUT COLLECTIN? MY PAY
OOOOOOH ? I NEVER GAVE IT A THOUGHT
AS I KNOCKED ON THE DOOR I HEARD THE BARK OF A DOG AND A GUN COCK BEHIND MY HEAD
OOOOOOH ? I TURNED QUICK AND SHOT
THERE ON THE LAWN LIE A MAN WITH A BADGE AS BLOOD POURED FROM HIS HEAD
OOOOOOH ? I KNEW HE WAS GONE
I WAS SETUP, BETRAYED, BY A MAN WHO ESCAPED WITH MY MONEY, AND MY FREEDOM, AND MY WIFE
OOOOOOH ? WHAT A FOOL I?VE BEEN

SITTIN? IN A HOTEL ROOM, WITH A SHOTGUN, LYING ACROSS MY LAP
OOOOOOH ? THIS IS HOW IT ENDS
HE MADE THE MISTAKE OF TRUSTING A FRIEND, JUST LIKE I DID WHEN I TRUSTED HIM
OOOOOOH ? NOW HE?S DRIVIN? IN

OOOOOOOOH ? IT?S ALL OVER
FOR TWO TENNESSEE BOYS WHO LOST THEIR MINDS
THE LAW ----- MAY EXECUTE ME
BUT I?LL PAY THAT PRICE AFTER I WATCH HIM DIE
I?LL PAY THAT PRICE AFTER I WATCH HIM DIE
I?LL PAY THAT PRICE AFTER I WATCH HIM DIE
