Kane's River - So Long, Sally Johnson lyrics

I was born on the right side, Big house and a picket fence How I got to the left side never seemed To make much sense I had a strong foundation, Lord knows mama tried I was born on a black night With the devil by my side So long Sally Johnson, I think of you today You know I tried to do you right But the devil got in my way I let out at 15 in a burned out Cadillac Left a trail of wreckage And I never once looked back Now I'm a wanted criminal But you'll never see my face I linger in the shadows And I'm gone without a trace So long Sally Johnson, I think of you today You know I tried to do you right But the devil got in my way I met a little girl in Reno and I asked her to be my bride We walked the aisle together With the devil by my side All that night the wind blew, In the morning she was gone So long Sally Johnson, I know I done you wrong I was born on the right side But you'd never know today My clothes are worn and ragged, My hair is turning gray When darkness falls upon me You won't see me around But I'll think of you forever When I'm six feet in the ground So long Sally Johnson, I think of you today You know I tried to do you right But the devil got in my way Oh the devil, the devil got in my way So long Sally Johnson, I think of you today
