Monroe Suede

Momma played piano in a Pentecostal church Starin' them snakes in the eye Daddy died drunk, left us all in a lurch Hell I did what I did to get by I did what I did to get by A third grade education won't bring you no luck When you're looking for a way to get paid Turned 14 and stole a pickup truck Couldn't make it on minimum wage Couldn't make it on minimum wage Well I almost got caught in Tulsa town I had me one foot in the grave Ah 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 sheriff's lookin' 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 I had me one foot in the grave Ah they're gonna die trying to track me down But they'll never catch Monroe Suede No they'll never catch Monroe Suede Momma still plays piano in the same ol' church Helpin' them sinners get saved Daddy died drunk, left us all in a lurch And they call me Monroe Suede Well I almost got caught in Tulsa town I had me one foot in the grave Ah they're gonna die trying to track me down But they'll never catch Monroe Suede No they'll never catch Monroe Suede They'll never catch Monroe Suede
