I better keep myself from being busted
|
I better keep myself out of jail
|
'Cause I ain't got a friend to get me trusted
|
That's why my mama sends my money through the mail
|
|
I've been down on my luck
|
I've been down on my wealth
|
I'm gotta stop taking care of business
|
Start taking care of my health
|
|
I've gotta leave this town
|
I've gotta leave this town behind
|
I've gotta leave this town tonight
|
|
Well I set off down the main street
|
With such a long, long way to go
|
But before I started I was cornered on the corner
|
Still waiting for my sugar to show
|
|
I've been down on my luck
|
I've been down on my wealth
|
I've gotta stop taking care of somebody's else's business
|
Start taking care of myself
|
|
I've gotta leave this town
|
I've gotta leave this town behind
|
I've gotta leave this town tonight
|
|
I was fooling around with the sheriff's daughter
|
She was a real fine fox
|
But the sheriff he came after
|
And threatened to lock me in a cell box
|
|
He showed me his magnum
|
He showed me his shotgun
|
He stuck it in my face
|
And said, "boy, I think you best be gone"
|
|
I've gotta leave this town
|
I've gotta leave this town behind
|
I've gotta leave this town tonight
|
