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.
