The Rub - Delbert Mcclinton

The Rub - Delbert Mcclinton
I know how much you hate to get up in the morning
But somebody's gotta make a move
There's a parking lot full of police outside
And they all axed of you
He said I might mislead you but I wouldn't ever lie to ya
And I said well hell that's the way it ought to be
He said I never shot him he shot himself
While he was shooting at me
Hey there's a pitchfork sticking through the roof of the car
And both the headlights are busted out
These people say they saw you running away
He said hell I was just going for help
I hope somebody's writing this down
Let's get our story straight boys fore we get back to town
My guess is he just went insane
Tried to swim away with too much change
The doctor said I can fix that for ya
But it's gonna be awhile
Just go on an take a seat
Try not to bleed on the carpet and
Pull the door shut when you leave
A singer song writer massage therapist friend of mine
Said y'all might be needing a little help
Now I'll drive your truck but I don't lift nothing
And I room all by myself
I hope somebody's writing this down
Let's get our story straight boys fore we get back to town
Now all y'all witnessed what I said he done
I hope he makes bail I love it when they run
