Shovels and Rope

Botched Execution
They botched my execution back in 1996 I climbed out of a window and I hopped over the fence Had to dig myself a tunnel, put my feet on the cement And started runnin' runnin' runnin' and ain't nobody seen me since So, now I gotta find a friend, someone to tell I didn't do it But my picture's in the paper and there's no way that I can prove it And the body's in the closet 'cause I never got to move it Now the neighbor's kids are talking sayin' everybody knew it All my little seeds have grown Sooner later come back home Leave a trail of crumbs a little lure for them to bite on In a Motel 6, thank God nobody left the light on Dressed myself in women's clothing and a wig that I had tried on Tried to cleanse myself of all those alibis I had relied on Now I'm lying on my back looking at the ceiling When suddenly I am distracted by that old familiar feeling With the table and the devil and the cards that he was dealing I was sure enough a slave and some poor soul I would be stealing tonight All my little seeds have grown Sooner later come back home Letras de cancionesHitched my skirt, climbed up a car on the railroad Found myself a'gazing down the barrel at the crossroad Hide out in the circus, rob a bank, hit the payload Or wait out in the darkness with the freaks and kinda lay low A storm had downed a power line, laying on the trainway Standing in a puddle, felt a shock and in a ditch lay In my final moments I could hear the lucky judge say Well, I guess the execution went as scheduled anyways All my little seeds have grown Sooner later come back home From Letras Mania
