Nebraska

[Verse 1] Saw her standin' on her front lawn Just a-twirlin' her baton Me and her went for a ride, sir And ten innocent people died [Verse 2] From the town of Lincoln, Nebraska With a sawed-off .410 on my lap Through the badlands of Wyoming I killed everything in my path [Verse 3] I can't say that I am sorry For the things that we've done At least for a little while, sir Me and her, we had us some fun [Verse 4] Now the jury brought in a guilty verdict And the judge sentenced me to death Midnight in a prison storeroom With leather straps across my chеst [Guitar Solo] [Verse 5] Sheriff, when the man pulls that switch, sir And snaps my poor nеck back You make sure my pretty baby Is sittin' right there on my lap [Verse 6] They declared me unfit to live Said into that great void my soul'd be hurled They wanna know why I did what I did Well sir, I guess there's just a meanness in this world [Outro] They wanna know why I did what I did Sir, I guess there's just a meanness in this world
