Now that the kingpin's come & gone, lookin' down the road, which way was wrong?
All the stories he told, served your supper cold, trampled all your marigolds
He'll never confess he ever made that mess, trackin' his mud, guess he couldn't care less
But he smiled as he said, God bless
So, Lord help us along, now that the kingpin's come & gone, come & gone
Now that the kingpin's passed on through, lookin' down the road, whatcha gonna do?
Knew it from the start, upset your apple cart, oh, your broken heart!
Wiped his boots on your Sunday suit, didn't give a damn what you constitute
Lost your loot, watch out, he'll execute
Only now he's through, it's time for the switcheroo, switcheroo
Light a cigar, lighten your load, warm up the car, & shovel the road
Strum your guitar, dance until dawn, then stay right where you are
'Cause the kingpin's come & gone, come & gone
Now that the kingpin's come & gone, looking down the road, which way was wrong?
Which way was wrong? We was wrong...
