I saw her standin� on her front lawn just twirlin� her baton
me and her went for a ride sir and ten innocent people died
From the town of lincoln, nebraska with a sawed off .410 on my lap
through to the badlands of wyoming i killed everything in my path
I can�t say that i�m sorry for the things that we done
at least for a little while sir me and her we had us some fun
The jury brought in a guilty verdict and the judge he sentenced me to death
midnight in a prison storeroom with leather straps across my chest
Sheriff when the man pulls that switch sir and snaps my poor head back
you make sure my pretty baby is sittin� right there on my lap
They declared me unfit to live said into that great void my soul�d be hurled
they wanted to know why i did what i did
well sir i guess there�s just a meanness in this world.
