If a man ever needed dying, he did  
No one had a right to say, what he said about you  
And it’s so cold and lonely here without you  
Out there, the law is coming, I’ve been so tired of running

Oh Mama, I’m in fear for my life from the long arm of the law  
Lawman has put an end to my running and I’m so far from my home  
Oh Mama, I can hear you a-cryin’, you’re so scared and all alone  
Hangman is comin’ down from the gallows and I don’t have very long

The Devil went down to Georgia.  
He was lookin’ for a soul to steal.  
He was in a bind 'cause he was way behind.  
He was willing to make a deal.

Ah, but when that clock strikes midnight and I’m all by myself  
I work that combination on my secret hideaway shelf  
And I pull out some Fritos corn chips, Dr Pepper and an ole Moon Pie  
Then I sit back in glorious expectation of a genuine junk food high

You’ll never find your gold on a sandy beach  
You’ll never drill for oil on a city street  
I know you’re looking for a ruby in a mountain of rocks  
But there ain’t no Coupe de Ville hiding at the bottom of a Cracker Jack box

Looking for a penny on an empty beach  
I’ve been looking for a lover who has eyes to see  
While I’m here I wanna walk with you, hold you hand  
In the sun, in the sun, in the sun, in the sun

Turquoise eyes, the color I need to get clean
