Jake

Lyrics

A boy gets crazy when he's sittin' at the bar  
Don't you mess with Jake don't you push him too far  
Rotgut whiskey and homemade wine  
Make a good country boy just lose his mind  
Like a runaway train rollin' through the night the boy ain't got no fear  
Like a race car hittin' the wall it gets hard to steer  
Waitin' for the smoke to clear  
  
Betty got caught in the back of Bobby's car  
Bobby got caught with his hand in the cookie jar  
Her Daddy blew a fuse and went for his gun  
Now Bobby and Betty they're on the run  
Like a runaway train rollin' thought the night nothin's gonna stop them now  
Gotta keep on moving cover their tracks somehow  
  
Like a runaway train rollin' through the night  
The kids ain't got no fear  
Daddy swears bang is the last sound Bobby's gonna hear oh  
Waitin' for the smoke to clear  
  
Daddy finally caught 'em and he emptied his gun  
Put a dead end to all of Bobby's fun oh  
Good god almighty for heaven's sakes  
Betty's Daddy turned out to be Jake  
  
Like a runaway train rollin' through the night  
Jake ain't got no fear  
No hangman judge gonna give the boy 99 years  
  
Here sits Jake in the back of this bar  
Sippin' on an ice cold beer  
If the law had a clue all they'd do is look right here  
They'd see Jake  
Waitin' for the smoke to clear waitin' for  
Oh
