Monroe Suede

Mama played piano in a pentecostal church Staring them snakes in the eye Daddy died drunk left us all in lurch Hell, I did what I did to get by Yeah, I did what I did to get by Third grade education won't bring you no luck Looking for a way to get paid Turned fourteen and stole a pick up truck Couldn't make it on the minimum wage Couldn't make it on the minimum wage Well I almost got caught in Tulsa Town Had me one foot in the grave Oh, they're gonna die trying to track me down But they'll never catch monroe suede No, they'll never catch monroe suede Well you can't stay long when you're living on the run And the high sherrif's looking for you Never shot nobody with a loaded gun But I found me a lover or two Well I almost got caught in Tulsa Town Had me one foot in the grave Oh, they're gonna die trying to track me down But they'll never catch monroe suede No, they'll never catch monroe suede Mama still plays piano in the same old church Helping them sinners get saved Daddy died drunk left us all in lurch And they called me monroe suede Well I almost got caught in Tulsa Town Had me one foot in the grave Oh, they're gonna die trying to track me down But they'll never catch monroe suede No, they'll never catch monroe suede
