I got one more hour Before the cops catch me
You gotta hear what I say While I still am free
I didn't mean to shoot her down Didn't think I could
She got out the car But I knew she would
She wouldn't let it be
It was just a fight between me and Johnny Lee
I had him in my sights One bullet would do
He began to cry And my aim was true
And then I heard a car door slam And my eyes went red
And when I came to They both were dead
And then the sirens grew
I ran right here to get away from them boys in blue
I gave them the slip But it won't take long
They're gonna track me down Because I've done wrong
Not going to jail again No handcuff drive
No jury or judge They won't take me alive
So play me one more song
And then I'll have one more drink and be moving along
Just one more thing Is there a way out back
You can have my gun And this money sack
I won't need no gun no more And none of Johnny's cash
Just a good strong drink And a backdoor dash
And then I'm back on track
And then I'll find a place to wait for that last attack
I gonna sit real still Won't cry or pout
and they will say my name and wave their guns about
I am gonna say my prayers To the lord above
I killed Johnny Lee And my sweet sweet love
Then I will run and shout
And I will fall when the hail of bullets done take me out
