Let the beer bottle Rattle on my pistol On the seat of my Chevy pick up truck And I'm taking these gravel roads As fast as my truck will go I'm running like a scared white tail buck
It was a long night card game With Earl Ray and Bobby And some ol boy they worked with from Adair That boy didnt like me Then he said I was cheatin Gun shots rang out on the midnight air
I dont wanna see the day light But my Becky's alone tonight I wonder if shes waiting up for me
I'm gonna hide out in the bottom Where I hunted deer and turkey I know that swamp like the back of my hand Hell I was born and raised here Just wanted to be a good ol boy Never thought I'd ever be a wanted man
But soon they gonna catch me Aint no way around that Cause I dont know any other place to hide I wonder if Becky's Bible is still in the glove box Cause I'm sure gonna need it if that boy died
I dont wanna see the daylight But my Beckys alone tonight I wonder if she's waiting up for me
Sometime tomorrow morning When I ought to be fishing They'll probably be hauling me in I'll be sittin in the jail house No need to be wishing I'll ever get to fish the green river again
I"ll be prayin for some daylight Cause my Becky's alone tonite I wonder if she's waiting up for me.
