Tommy Jackson(其他) - Randy Rogers Band

作曲 : Rogers
It didn't matter
Tommy Jackson was running free
Cause the man he killed never mattered much to me
There’s talk in our town about where
Tommy might run
Wondered if it mattered, he has used my gun 80
Miles East of the line down on my grand daddy's farm
He laid low just for the night and he slept there in our barn
I watched him steal our
Ford and drive away in the sun 18
Years of getting older now a dead man on the run
Chorus: Isn't love a funny thing with a pistol in your hand
Close you eyes and bow your head to pray if you can
Well you sealed your fate when you picked up that shotgun 18
Years of getting older now a dead man on the run, on the run
For 15 days
Tommy kept his conscience between the lines
His ex-wife and a cold jail cell were always on his mind
He ran out of cash at an east-bound truck stop
But he found work there at
Fritz's muffler shop
Fritz was a good man and
Pamela was his wife 2 kids a nice home and on the surface a good life
But drunk on
Whisky Pam and
Tommy had some fun 18
Years of getting older now a dead man on the run
Chorus Now every
Sunday morning she goes down to the place where he lays
She tells
Tommy how she never wanted things this way
Rest in Peace
