Lyrics Jake - Lynyrd Skynyrd

Jake

The boy gets crazy when he’s sittin' at the bar
Don’t you mess with Jake, don’t you push him too far
Rotgut whiskey and homemade wine
Make a good country boy just lose his mind
Like a runaway train rollin' through the night
The boy ain’t got no fear
Like a race car hittin' the wall it gets hard to steer
Waitin' for the smoke to clear
Betty got caught in the back of Bobby’s car
Bobby got caught with his hand in the cookie jar
Her daddy blew a fuse and he went for his gun
Now Bobby and Betty, they’re on the run
Like a runaway train, rollin' throught the night
Nothin’s gonna stop them now
Gotta keep on moving, cover their tracks somehow
Like a runaway train rollin' through the night
The kids ain’t got no fear
Daddy swears, «'Bang' is the last sound Bobby’s gonna hear»
Waitin' for the smoke to clear
Daddy finally caught 'em and he emptied his gun
Put a dead end to all of Bobby’s fun
Good God Almighty for Heaven’s sakes
Betty’s daddy he turned out to be Jake
Like a runaway train rollin' through the night
Jake ain’t got no fear
No hangman judge gonna give the boy 99 years
Here sits Jake in the back of this bar
Sippin' on an ice cold beer
If the law had a clue all they’d do is look right here
And they’d see Jake
Waitin' for the smoke to clear
Waitin' for
