Monroe Suede

歌詞

Mama played piano in a Pentecostal church Starin' them snakes in the eye Daddy died drunk, left us all in a lurch Hell, I did what I did to get by I did what I did to get by A third grade education won't bring you no luck When you're lookin' for a way to get paid Turned fourteen and stole a pickup truck Couldn't make it on minimum wage Couldn't make it on minimum wage Well, I almost got caught in Tulsa town I had me one foot in the grave Ah, they're gonna die tryin' to track me down But they'll never catch Monroe Suede No, they'll never catch Monroe Suede Well, you can't stay long when you're livin' on the run And the high sheriff's lookin' for you Never shot nobody with a loaded gun But I found me a lover or two Well, I almost got caught in Tulsa town I had me one foot in the grave Ah, they're gonna die tryin' to track me down But they'll never catch Monroe Suede No, they'll never catch Monroe Suede Mama still plays piano in the same ol' church Helpin' them sinners get saved Daddy died drunk, left us all in the lurch And they call me Monroe Suede Well, I almost got caught in Tulsa town I had me one foot in the grave Oh, they're gonna die tryin' to track me down But they'll never catch Monroe Suede No, they'll never catch Monroe Suede They'll never catch Monroe Suede
