Somebody told me
Don’t think twice
Don’t play the fool, boy
But don’t play nice
And somebody said,
When I was quite young
Go and get yourself an education then get yourself a gun
And somebody said
Said love don’t come around
When you need it, boy, it’ll come around
When you come around
Somebody told me
Gotta stay cool
Gotta keep your head up on your shoulders if you wanna rule
And somebody said
Son, hold on tight
‘Cause when you think they’re gonna take a left
you know they’re gonna take a right
And somebody said
You gotta do right, but you’re gonna do wrong
But you can take that shit all back, brotha...
Put it in a country song
Well my first love
Sweet Marlene
Taught me how to take a punch
Taught me how to be mean
But my last love
Dynamite Dot
She was a gunslinger, boys, she was a crack shot
And it hurt me so
When she set those sights on me
But there ain’t nothin’ in this world, man,
Make me make her wanna let me be
