I been hangin' by a thread I been losin' what I had Now I'm startin' to believe That the good times are done for me O-o-o-o O-o-o-o Don't let the sun catch you cryin' Well there ain't no use tonight that it's all coming down You could move to another town O-o-o-o O-o-o-o But there's a girl in south Louisiana And she is always on my mind
And if you could only tell her Well that I'm doing time Doing time As above so below I don't know how I'm gonna go But with angels by my side I'm gonna get on my horse and ride O-o-o-o O-o-o-o Oh babe, I'm going out Babe, I'll get back somehow Babe, I'm going out Babe, I'll get back somehow
