lyrics

In a motel room in Mississippi
Sits a man at his end
Loaded gun and sipping whiskey
And a life he can’t defend
He killed a girl in Oklahoma
Just because she wouldn’t do
All the things a woman wearing
That little dress aught to do

He was born in a trailer
And that was where he spent his youth
He tried to take Jesus as savior
But he couldn’t see the use
In '68, he joined the army
To become a man
In '69, came home to hatred
Cause he killed in Vietnam

So there he sits. Recalling history
Wondering when the Devil came
Emptied his heart, filled it with hatred
And a killer’s shame
