I came to tell my story to all these young and eager minds Look in their unspoiled faces and their curious bright eyes Stories of corruption, crime and killing, yes, it's true Greed and fixed elections, guns and drugs and whores and boozeIt's been a while since I put on a suit of my own clothes And even longer since I cast my shadow on a church house door They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong I'm guilty of all seven, I don't feel too bad at allAn' I used to have a wad of hundred dollar bills in the back pocket of my suit I had a .45 underneath my coat and another one in my boot I drove a big ole Cadillac, bought a new one anytime I pleased And I put more lawmen in the ground than Alabama put cottonseedI spent a few years on vacation, sanctioned by the state I mentioned But see a man like me don't do no time too hard to come back from The meanest of the mean, you see you lock away and toss the key But they're just loud mouth punks to me, I've scraped meaner off my shoeSomewhere I ain't saying, there's a hole that holds a judge The last one that I dug myself And I must admit I was sad to lay him in it but I did the best I could Once his honor grows a conscience, well folks, that there just ain't no goodAnd there's a pretty girl out there said, "Daddy, you stay cool tonight All I need from you is to come home and be here by my side Say what you gotta say to shut their Bibles and their mouths If there was to tie a noose, they'd have to lay their Bibles down"I ain't here to save no souls and even if I could I could never save enough to put back half the ones I took So if they rest in torment, you can't say it's cause of me They'd long been bought and paid for like that fool's in TennesseeAn' I used to have a wad of hundred dollar bills in the back pocket of my suit I had a .45 underneath my coat and another one in my boot I drove a big ole Cadillac, bought a new one anytime I pleased And I put more lawmen in the ground than Alabama put cottonseedAnd there's a pretty girl out there said, "Daddy, you stay cool tonight All I need from you is to come home and be here by my side Say what you gotta say to shut their Bibles and their mouths If there was to tie a noose, they'd have to lay their Bibles down"
Это интересно:Drive-By Truckers are an alternative country/Southern rock band based in Athens, Georgia, though two out of five current members (Patterson Hood and Mike Cooley) are originally from The Shoals region of Northern Alabama, and the band strongly identifies with Alabama. Their music uses three guitars as well as bass, drums, and now keyboards. Like many alternative country acts, the Drive-By Truckers record in analog (using 2 inch tape). However, unlike the majority of their contemporaries, the Drive-By Truckers have consistently pushed their labels to also release the band's records in a vinyl format.Early HistoryDrive-By Truckers was co-founded by Patterson... продолжение
