Nebraska

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I saw her standing on her front lawn She was twirling her baton Me and her went for a ride, sir And ten innocent people died [Verse 2] From the town of Lincoln, Nebraska With a sawed-off .410 on my lap Through the badlands of Wyoming I killed everything in my path [Verse 3] I can't say that I'm sorry For the things that we done At least for a little while, sir Me and her had us some fun [Verse 4] The jury brought in the verdict And the judge sentenced me to death Midnight in a prison storeroom Leather straps across my chеst [Verse 5] Sheriff, when the man pulls that switch, sir And snaps my poor hеad back You make sure my pretty baby Sittin' right there on my lap [Instrumental Break] [Verse 6] They declared me unfit to live They said to that great void my soul will be hurled They wanted to know why I did what I did I guess there's just a meanness in this world
