Monroe Suede

[Verse 1] Mama played piano in a Pentecostal church Staring them snakes in the eye Daddy died drunk left us all in the lurch Hell I did what I did to get by I did what I did to get by 3rd Grade education won't bring you no luck When you're looking for a way to get paid Turned 14 and stole a pick up truck Couldn't make it on minimum wage Couldn't make it on minimum wage [Chorus] Well I almost got caught in Tulsa Town Had me one foot in the grave Oh they're gonna die trying to track me down But they'll never catch Monroe Suede No they'll never catch Monroe Suede [Verse 2] Well you can't stay long when you're living on the run And the high sheriff's looking for you Never shot nobody with a loaded gun But I found me a lover or two [Chorus] Well I almost got caught in Tulsa Town Had me one foot in the grave Oh they're gonna die trying to track me down But they'll never catch Monroe Suede No they'll never catch Monroe Suede [Verse 3] Mama still plays piano in that same old church Hoping those sinners get saved Daddy died drunk left us all in the lurch And they call me Monroe Suede [Chorus] Well I almost got caught in Tulsa Town Had me one foot in the grave Oh they're gonna die trying to track me down But they'll never catch Monroe Suede No they'll never catch Monroe Suede
