Lyrics
Something bad happened last night
Woke up with a gun in my hand
I remember the pistol shot
And when I looked down I saw my man
I guess I'm gonna be singing these blues
I've got a whole lot of nothing and everything to lose
I called my momma and my daddy
They said child, you better take what you can use
Cause when they come to get you
They're gonna make you pay your dues
I guess I'm gonna be singing these blues
I've got a whole lot of nothing and everything to lose
My daddy said you was our only child
Don't know why you turned out so bad
We tried for years to have a son
But you was all we could ever have
I guess I'm gonna be singing these blues
I've got a whole lot of nothing and everything to lose
I was born on the southside, on the wrong side of the tracks
Ever since the day I was born
It's all gone from grey to black
Don't want to go to prison
Wearing shackles on my feet
I heard what they did to women
Who shot their man then sat down for a drink
It was a long, long time ago
Now I'm old and grey
Been sitting in this prison for 25 years
Ain't smiled one single day
