I came to tell my story to all these young and eager minds[00:00:00]

To look in their unspoiled faces and their curious bright eyes[00:00:19]

Stories of corruption crime and killing yes it's true[00:00:28]

Greed and fixed elections guns and d**gs and whores and booze[00:00:36]

It's been a while since I put on a suit of my own clothes[00:00:52]

And even longer since I cast my shadow on a church house door[00:00:59]

They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong[00:01:08]

I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all[00:01:16]

I used to have a wad of hundred dollar bills in the back pocket of my suit[00:01:25]

I had a 45 underneath my coat and another one in my boot[00:01:32]

I drove a big ole Cadillac bought a new one anytime I pleased[00:01:42]

And I put more lawmen in the ground than Alabama put cottonseed[00:01:49]

I spent a few years on vacation sanctioned by the state I mentioned[00:02:05]

But a man like me don't do no time too hard to come back from[00:02:13]

The meanest of the mean I see you lock away and toss the key[00:02:22]

But they're all just loud mouth punks to me I've scraped meaner off my shoe[00:02:30]

Somewhere I ain't saying there's a hole that holds a judge[00:02:39]

The last one that I dug myself[00:02:47]

And I must admit I was sad to lay him in it but I did the best I could[00:02:49]

Once his Honor grows a conscience well folks that there just ain't no good[00:03:03]

There's a pretty girl out there said Daddy you stay cool tonight[00:03:13]

All I need from you is to come home and be here by my side[00:03:18]

Say what you gotta say to shut their Bibles and their mouths[00:03:23]

If they was to tie a noose they'd have to lay their Bibles down[00:03:28]

I ain't here to save no souls and even if I could[00:04:30]

I could never save enough to put back half the ones I took[00:04:37]

So if they rest in torment you can't say it's cause of me[00:04:46]

They'd long been bought and paid for like that fool's in Tennessee[00:04:54]
