Angry Johnny And The k**billies - Waltzin' On Air lyrics

A bottle of whiskey, a heart full of sorrow And hatred is what brought me here I left a man dead on the floor of that bar In the blood and the piss and the beer They took me away, they said "You're gonna pay" They asked me what I'm laughin' for I said that I'm laughin' 'cause my true love done left And I k**ed the man what took that who*e Now I'll be waltzin' on air, waltzin' on air Tryin' to choke back the tears Waltzin' on air, darling, hope that you're there I haven't felt this good in years The judge looked at me, he said "How do ya plea?" I told him where he could go "I'm guilty of many a treacherous deed So, man, let's get on with the show Either give me the noose or just let me loose And stop wastin' everyone's time." Before he unravelled, he slammed down that gavel Said "Hang him on Friday at nine" He'll be waltzin' on air, waltzin' on air Tryin' to choke back the tears Waltzin' on air, darling, hope that you're there Haven't felt this good in years Outside of my window, the gallows are swayin' In front of the laughin' full moon Tomorrow I'll dangle as they The Star Spangle While children play and women swoon A preacher'll pray for my soul on that day While I'm standin' on that ol' trapdoor I'll spit in his Bible and laugh in his face And tell him to pray for ya, who*e While I'm waltzin' on air, waltzin' on air Tryin' to choke back the tears Waltzin' on air, darling, hope that you're there Haven't felt this good in years Now the hour has come, guess my story is done It looks like it's neck scratchin' time I'm headin' for Hades to dance with the ladies Forever I'll pay for your crime I hope that you're cryin' while I'm up here dyin' I wish I could bid ya farewell I'd twist your sweet neck 'til I heard it go crack And I'd take ya with me down to Hell We'd be waltzin' on air, waltzin' on air Tryin' to choke back the tears Waltzin' on air, darling, hope that you're there Haven't felt this good in years Waltzin' on air, waltzin' on air Tryin' to choke back the tears Waltzin' on air, darling, hope that you're there Haven't felt this good in years Darling, I haven't felt this good in years...
