G D G
Gonna wash away or drown
G
Well I only there for a minute, I was only passing through
G
I was only being friendly but her pappy said he'd send me to the grave for what I wanted to do
G
I should've known when she was so willing, I should've known that she was just a kid
G
I should've known that I was a stranger and that I would be in danger over something that I never did
Chorus
Solo
I can't believe her story that she told her mom and daddy and that vigilante crowd in town
That Lolita of the country set the dogs out on me, Lord they're gonna take me down
I'd rather swing a hammer in an Alabama slammer than face what's coming after me
I gotta make it to the water, ride it to the border, let the scent wash off of me
