Lyrics

Sun's comin' up and news starts spreadin' around
Yesterday's gone, and you man I had to gun down, down, down

Hey mister "know it all" - what the hell you gonna do?
When a jerk like that takes a swing at you
You'll run for cover, you'll spit him in the eye
You'll pull the trigger! - don't tell me lies..

My mother said straight way's build on pride, yeah
If wishes were horses then beggars would be ride, and ride, ride, ride
Hey mister "know it all" - what the hell you gonna do?

When a jerk like that takes a swing at you
You'll call it even, you'll desperately weep
You'll pull the trigger! - and nail that creep..

Ten to life - now the crime is done
So long - I'm too far gone..
Ten to life - from a judge so fine
Best man - that money can buy..

Took a shot but I've failed
Now I'm dying in jail
And it cuts like a knife
I'm gettin' ten to life..

Just like a dream they busted me and put me away
Over the hills and down to the slammer to stay

Hey mister "know it all" - what the hell you gonna do?
When a jerk like that takes a swing at you
You'll turn another cheek, take livin' in disgrace
You'll pull the trigger - get off of my face..
