That'll Get You Ten - Jeff Bates[00:00:01]
Just two years an' seven days[00:00:13]
Between me an' legal age[00:00:17]
Just one clerk in that liquor store[00:00:20]
Between me an' that front door[00:00:23]
My coat had deep pockets[00:00:26]
An' he probably had a gun[00:00:29]
Well I reckon he was watchin' 'cause he said[00:00:32]
"Son that'll get you one"[00:00:36]
"One year pickin' up trash on the highway[00:00:41]
One phone call to hear your momma's heartbreak[00:00:44]
If you think it's worth it don't let me stop you son[00:00:47]
'Cause that'll get you one"[00:00:52]
She had a beer in her hand she was comin' on strong[00:00:59]
An' I was just this close to takin' her home[00:01:02]
Things were lookin' good when we left that bar[00:01:06]
Till she stopped an' said "That's my car"[00:01:09]
That's when I saw the sticker[00:01:13]
That said 'Franklin County High'[00:01:15]
Well I didn't even kiss the girl goodbye[00:01:19]
'Cause that'll get you five[00:01:24]
Five years bustin' up rocks on the chain gang[00:01:27]
Pound in' and a bang straight plates in the same sink[00:01:30]
Wonderin' if I'm ever gonna make it out alive[00:01:34]
An' those tan breaks might get me thinkin' 'bout a jailbreak[00:01:39]
Askin' my mom to slip a file in my bun cake[00:01:43]
Those bloodhounds'd probably haul me back in[00:01:47]
An' that's another ten[00:01:51]
Boss man climbin' down my back[00:02:05]
Won't cut me one inch of slack[00:02:08]
'Tween that steel beam an' the ground below[00:02:12]
It'd be a nasty fall if the wind should blow[00:02:15]
I don't see a witness an' we're up here awful high[00:02:18]
If he should lose his balance[00:02:24]
He might not survive[00:02:26]
But that'd get you life[00:02:30]
Pumpin' that iron with the boys on the cell-block[00:02:32]
Tyin' my soap to a rope so it don't drop[00:02:36]
An' some ol' boy thinks my biceps look nice[00:02:39]
Writin' to the governor an' beggin' for a pardon[00:02:45]
Thinkin' "That's how Merle Haggard got started"[00:02:49]
Swappin' cigarettes for momma's apple pie[00:02:52]
Lookin' through the glass an' talkin' to my lawyer[00:02:58]
Memorizing Moby Dick an' Tom Sawyer[00:03:02]
Tellin' the parole board I learned wrong from right[00:03:05]
Yeah that'd get you life yeah that'd get you life[00:03:10]
