[Verse 1]

Every nights another bar and a bottle in my hand

These cheap cigars, they burn my lungs, but I don't give a damn

All the sins I've made in the time, I ought to be dead by now

I'm drivin' down this road, just keep on headin' south

[Chorus]

'Cause I'm comin' down off a runaway high

These cops are on my tail, but I don't really mind

'Cause I could be gone in the blink of an eye

So, what's one more sin before I reach the Baton bayou

[Verse 2]

See you met a good old man down in the sticks

He was lookin' sharp as a knife, hell, he's probably thirty-six

Well, he crossed my path, so I pullеd out my old six shot

Then I put a piece of lеad right through his heart

[Chorus]

'Cause I'm comin' down off a runaway high

These cops are on my tail, but I don't really mind

'Cause I could be gone in the blink of an eye

So, what's one more sin before I reach the Baton bayou

I'm comin' down off a runaway high

These cops are on my tail, but I don't really mind

'Cause I could be gone in the blink of an eye

So, what's one more sin before I reach the Baton bayou
