lyrics

Me and the boys, we hit the road
With no idea of just where to go
Now all of us were on overload
I swear that one of us was sober though

No?

Damn...

Now none of us knew what was going down
When we rolled up on that sleepy town
Hell, seemed like nobody was around
And then James Lee shot the sheriff down

I should have stayed home that night
I never should have had that wine
Just wanted to have some fun
And then I was staring down the barrel of a gun

We tried to cross at the county line
But all we saw was them damn blue lights
We all knew we'd be doing time
So we shot down almost twenty-nine

I should have stayed home that night
I never should have had that wine
Just wanted to have some fun
And then I was staring down the barrel of a gun

I miss my wife
I couldn't walk no line
There's too much damage done
When you live by the gun

When the old judge brought the gavel down
I heard my Mama make an awful sound
But me I'd nothing to cry about
Hell, I knew they'd never let me out

I should have stayed home that night
I never should have had that wine
Just wanted to have some fun
And then I was staring down the barrel of a gun

I miss my wife
I couldn't walk no line
There's too much damage done
When you live by the gun
