Nebraska |
| 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 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 |
