[Verse 1]
Aadd9 D
I saw her standing on her front lawn
Aadd9 D
Just twirling her baton
G D
Me and her went for a ride, sir,
Aadd9 D
And ten innocent people died
[Verse 2]
Aadd9 D
From the town of Lincoln, Nebraska,
Aadd9 D
With a sawedoff 410 on my lap
G D
Through to the badlands of Wyoming
Aadd9 D
I killed everything in my path
[Verse 3]
Aadd9 D Aadd9 D
I can't say that I'm sorry
Aadd9 D
For the things that we done
G D
At least for a little while, sir,
Aadd9 D
Me and her we had us some fun
[Verse 4]
Aadd9 D
Now, the jury brought in a guilty verdict,
Aadd9 D
And the judge he sentenced me to death
G D Aadd9 D
Midnight in a prison store-room with leather straps across my chest
[Verse 5]
Aadd9 D
Sheriff, when the man pulls that switch, sir,
Aadd9 D
And snaps my poor head back
G D
You make sure my pretty baby
Aadd9 D
Is sittin' right there on my lap
[Verse 6]
Aadd9 D Aadd9 D Aadd9 D
They declared me unfit to live,
Aadd9 D
Said into that great void my soul'd be hurled
G D
They wanted to know why I did what I did
Aadd9 D
Well, sir, I guess there's just a meanness in this world
[Outro]

[Verse]
I saw her standing on her front lawn
Just a-twirling 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 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
Now, 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 want to know why I did what I did
Well, sir, I guess there's just a meanness in this world
