Lyrics Monroe Suede - Ashley Monroe

Monroe Suede

Mama played piano in a Pentecostal church
Staring them snakes in the eye
Daddy died drunk left us all in the lurch
Hell I did what I did to get by
I did what I did to get by
3rd Grade education won’t bring you no luck
When you’re looking for a way to get paid
Turned 14 and stole a pick up truck
Couldn’t make it on minimum wage
Couldn’t make it on minimum wage
Well I almost got caught in Tulsa Town
Had me one foot in the grave
Oh they’re gonna die trying 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 living on the run
And the high sheriff’s looking for you
Never shot nobody with a loaded gun
But I found me a lover or two
Mama still plays piano in that same old church
Hoping those sinners get saved
Daddy died drunk left us all in the lurch
And they call me Monroe Suede
