Death Row Caddy I by MichaelAnthony and Dirty
When I left Jonesb'ro Georgy, had love 'uns callin' me back
But I stubburn left for Texas in my death row Cadillac
An' on the way 'I shoulda stayed' keep Georgy on my mind
But moving thru the highways is sompin' that feel right
Now just outside of Birmingham my thermostat it blow
My thumb or sompin' dangerous walk 8 miles To and Fro
Found a-honky-tonk in Tulsa where they eye me with suspicion
So not to disappoint no one I leftT there with ouT Payin
I lay some late nights in Tulsa jail but every day I kneel
Yet them jailers kep' my money my-old Jonesb'ro-cottage they steal
When I roll it into Lubbock fill 'er-w' gift gasoline
Found a bargain lot an sold the lousy wreck it make me mean
I work some in the kich'n but gettin' to the Mission too late
Drunk-I try my hand at gamblin' an that gamblin' come to stay
I won my share of fast despare but I kep' my own place clean
Yet the people in that city see me like I some disgrace
An I remembrin' Oklahomia an' I never ever been burn twice
So I hit the police grab me when he find the heap I won
And I could've done Just Nuthin' an savin' me doin time
But Nogood is a given and I remembrin ' Tulsa time
Then my first time there in prison though I seen my share of jail
If you think it hard in prison it worse than life in hell
Had 2 or 3 diff'rent cellmates an' one of 'em he die
Say-he-need some medicine the prison say he lie
An da third one go to death row so dark afta his trial (lonesome)
Admitin' that he did it but it weren't like what they testify
I ax him what words he say when allowed his final breath
It's 'there never been a rich man in America put to death'
If I could just undo one day back up that settin' sun
Be back in Alabama when that lousy wreck break down
