becky's bible

Let the beer bottle

Rattle on my pistol

On the seat of my Chevy pick up truck

And I'm takin' these gravel roads

As fast as my truck will go

I'm runnin' like a scared white tailed buck

It was a long night card game

With Earl Ray and Bobby

And some ol' boys they worked with from Adair

That boy didn't like me

Then he said I was cheatin'

Gun shots rang out on the midnight air

I don't wanna see the daylight

But my Becky's alone tonight

I wonder if shes waitin' up for me

I'm gonna hide out in the bottom

Where I hunted deer and turkey

I know that swamp like the back of my hand

Hell I was born and raised here

Just wanted to be a good ol' boy

Never thought I'd ever be a wanted man

But soon they gonna catch me

Ain't no way around that

'Cause I don't know any other place to hide

I wonder if Becky's Bible is still in the glove box

'Cause I'm sure gonna need it if that boy died

I dont wanna see the daylight

But my Becky's alone tonight

I wonder if she's waitin' up for me

Sometime tomorrow mornin'

When I ought to be fishin'

They'll probably be haulin' me in

I'll be sittin' in the jail house

No need to be wishin'

I'll ever get to fish the green river again

I"ll be prayin' for some daylight

'Cause my Becky's alone tonite

I wonder if she's waitin' up for me

I wonder if shes waitin' up for me
