    Lyrics »

I know how much you hate to get up in the morning
But somebody's gotta make a move
There's a parkin' lot full of police outside
And they all ax' for you
He said I might mislead you
But I won't lie to you
Said well that's the way it oughta be
He said I never shot him
He shot himself while he was shootin' at me
I hope somebody's writin' this down
Let's get our stories straight boys before we get back to town
My guess is he just went insane
Tried to swim away with too much chain
I can fix that for ya, but it's gonna be awlile
So just go on and take a seat
Try not to bleed on the carpet
And pull the door shut when you leave
A singer/songwriter/massage therapist friend of mine
Said ya'll might be needin' a little heip
I'll drive your truck, but I don't lift nothin'
And I room all by myself
I hope somebody's writin' this down
Let's get our stories straight boys before we get back to town
Now all ya'll witnessed what I said he done
I hope he makes bail, I love it when they run
