And the sheriff yeah he told me put that gun away
But I didn't and I made myself a run away
Mississippi, West Virginia and then Delaware
I've been running, best believe it since they're after me
Know I'm a tool
I ain't making excuses
At least a tool's useful
But if they lock me up then darlin' I'd be useless
And I used to be a soldier at the alamo
Now they've all died Texas heroes
Yeah they think I died there with 'em
But I left them all behind because I figured so
Yeah I packed all my things and hit the rodeo
Jumped the fence and crawled the desert till I could no more
Till I found your little cottage and you saved my soul
And I followed Jesus Christ because he told me so
Know I'm a tool
I ain't making excuses
At least a tool's useful
But if they lock me up then darlin' I'd be useless
Know I'm a tool
I ain't making excuses
At least a tool's useful
But if they lock me up then darlin' I'd be useless
Know I'm a tool
I ain't making excuses
At least a tool's useful
But if they lock me up then darlin' I'd be useless
