Scat Cat

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well momma's in the kitchen cooking Irish stew Daddy's in the hollow and he's cooking something too Daddy makes a whiskey, momma say the prayer I fly up and down the backroads It's a family affair [Chorus] And I know the day is coming My luck will run its course Got to slow down with a woman Ride a faster horse If a bullet doesn't find me They'll let me rot in jail Scat cat, you've got gravy on your tail [Verse 2] Now the old man's hard on my Momma, but he's harder on his son Momma always told me first chance that you get boy, cut and run I got whiskey in the backseat, momma it'll be alright I got one more run I got to make, a little rough tonight [Chorus] And I know the day is coming My luck will run its course Got to slow down with a woman Ride a faster horse If a bullet doesn't find me They'll let me rot in jail Scat cat, you've got gravy on your tail [Verse 3] Now wrong ain't always wicked Law ain't always right If a young man has a breaking point Then the lawman has a price I let the sheriff catch me I got a pistol too I made him an offer that he could not refuse [Bridge] We took that load of whiskey We went to Little Rock I left him handcuffed at the airport Long term parking lot [Chorus] And I know the day is coming My luck will run its course Got to slow down with a woman Ride a faster horse If a bullet doesn't find me They'll let me rot in jail Scat cat, you've got gravy on your tail
