I was dealin' up and down the highway
Till they caught me with a heavy load
They sentenced me to hard labor
Workin' on the side of the road
Now I don't deny I was guilty
And I know I broke the law
I was hungry and broke and couldn't see no hope
And my back was up against the wall
Now I'm right outside your window
Honey open up and let me in
I broke out of jail this mornin'
And I ain't never goin' back again
I just had to stop by for a minute
And I can't stay long at all
'Cause I gotta run you see I'm under the gun
And my back is up against the wall
I was shackled to a three-time loser
A man named Jefferson
One night we got to talkin'
And I asked him what he'd done
He said a man fell over my razor
In the middle of a barroom brawl
But don't you see it was him or me
And my back was up against the wall
Now I'm right outside your window
Honey open up and let me in
I broke out of jail this mornin'
And I ain't never goin' back again
I just had to stop by for a minute
And I can't stay long at all
'Cause I gotta run you see I'm under the gun
And my back is up against the wall
Now I'm right outside your window
Honey open up and let me in
I broke out of jail this mornin'
And I ain't never goin' back again
I just had to stop by for a minute
And I can't stay long at all
'Cause I gotta run you see I'm under the gun
And my back is up against the wall
I gotta run you see I'm under the gun
And my back is up against the wall
Yeah I gotta run you see I'm under the gun
And my back is up against the wall(Robin Lee Bruce/Ed Bruce)
Sometime I thought I'd found the one love of my lifetime
Funny how your heart can fool ya sometime
Nighttime, the memories start to crawl around the nighttime
Trying to steal what little is left of my mind
They don't scare me like they used to
I never hardly ever even think about him sometime
Sometime I almost convince myself that he's not on my mind
Then again I think I hear him in the drive
Lost time, I was on occasion, days I just can't find
Picking up the phone and no one is on the line
I surprise myself I'm doing this well
I never hardly ever think about him sometime
Someone else might think I'm over him and doing fine
Someone else won't miss him quite like I do all the time
I surprise myself I'm doing this well
I never hardly ever think about him sometime
Someone else might think I'm over him and doing fine
Someone else won't miss him quite like I do all the time
I surprise myself I'm doing this well
I never hardly ever even think about him sometime
I surprise myself I'm doing this well
I never hardly ever even think about him sometime
