Lyrics
Well I always thought that I could spend my life in jail,
Never wanted to get out, never wanted to make bail,
Cause this down here is bigger than the long arm of the law,
See there's lots of local justice down in southern Arkansas.
See the long arm of the law, they done followed me,
Found me in my hide out up in Central Tennessee,
And they dragged me all the way back down, the long arm of the law,
All the way back down here to Southern Arkansas.
*And I'm petrefied,
A little mortified,
I'm paralyzed,
Cause there's lots of local justice for a broken hearted man.
See I had a little girl, she was so sweet,
But not to me, just ta' all the boys she'd meet,
She wasn't all that honest and she sure as hell weren't true,
So I had to put her under, it's the same thing you would do.
*
Well it probably didn't help she was the sheriff's little girl,
She had an issue; ‘Thought that she could rule the world'
And it's just a little issue but it's the one that drove me mad,
And it's pretty goddamn obvious that she got it from her dad.
*
Well sheriff paw decided that he'd like to let me go.
Prob'ly for the reasons you and I both know,
As I headed out the door he winked and he said a quick goodbye,
He said, Be careful son, some people out there'd like to see you die.
And I'm petrefied,
A little mortified.
I'm terrorized
Cause there's lots of local justice for a broken hearted man.
I woke up with a start, in the middle of the night,
With a shotgun pointed at my head and a rusty old flashlight.
And they dragged me down the stairs and they didn't make a sound.
And out the front door I went, never to be found.
And I'm petrefied
I apologized
Guess I'm penalized.
