Lyrics
I came in to town
I was looking for a job
I couldn’t get no work
So I started looking for somebody to rob
So I pulled out my ski mask
Put it over my face
And I walked into the feed store
And I shot everyone in the place
Chorus:
First there was a funeral
Then a trial
Hung me in a courtyard and
Let me hang up here a while
Let me hang up here a while
I bought a new shirt
So soft to the touch
A new pair of beetle boots
I hope I didn’t pay too much
Then I went to the movies
And I couldn’t get a date
Those women on the silver screen
Are the only ones I can relate
Chorus
My eyes grew heavy
And I fell asleep
The usher he came by and said
“Get out of here you creep”
So I pulled out my .38
And I blew him away
If you disrespect me
That’s the price you pay
Chorus
