Had a little trouble down in Tennessee
A load of whiskey and a girl that didn’t love me
Ran that truck off into the creek
It’s been two years the law’s still looking for me
I’m not going back
For her or that whiskey

My Daddy damned me down in Tennessee
He kicked me out when I was just 15, he said
“You don’t leave much when you’re gone but a cold stone”
If that’s the worth of a man I don’t want to get old
Yeah nobody will cry
At my graveside

It wouldn’t matter if I was an innocent man
But this time I can’t wipe the blood from my hands

I’ll make a last stand anywhere but Tennessee
It’s just a matter of time before they corner me
It might be in Mississippi maybe Mexico
Dragged down like a dog, is a hell of a way to go
There’s nothing for me,
But trouble in Tennessee
