Black crow laughing on a fenced porch Far as I can tell There gotta be something behind me Lord, cause I feel I'm doing well I ain't been staying up late Making folks wait like I've done before For me to get on track Make up for what I lack Black crow, I ain't a joke no more Cold, cold empty home What's a man to do when he ain't got no dough? And his door's been kicked in By the damn tax man two days ago Well, he gets a case of the fools Wants to break all the rules So he pulls out his gun Corner store's a good aim To make a little change But it's a shame to blame an innocent one Lord, I can feel them spirits pulling me down And a hundred and ten in the pin Is a long time when you did no crime They got the wrong man on that chain A hundred and ten in the shade I'm a different man I guess I'll say old crow It is funny how it goes I do confess What good is freedom outside these walls If you're living dead I'm gonna pay my dues Make up no excuse like I did before Make it right with the Lord I told the sheriff so Black crow I ain't a joke no more
