Let the beer bottle Rattle on my pistol On the seat of my Chevy pick up truck And I'm takin' these gravel roads As fast as my truck will go I'm runnin' like a scared white tailed buck It was a long night card game With Earl Ray and Bobby And some ol' boys they worked with from Adair That boy didn't like me Then he said I was cheatin' Gun shots rang out on the midnight air I don't wanna see the daylight But my Becky's alone tonight I wonder if shes waitin' up for me I'm gonna hide out in the bottom Where I hunted deer and turkey I know that swamp like the back of my hand Hell I was born and raised here Just wanted to be a good ol' boy Never thought I'd ever be a wanted man But soon they gonna catch me Ain't no way around that 'Cause I don't know any other place to hide I wonder if Becky's Bible is still in the glove box 'Cause I'm sure gonna need it if that boy died I dont wanna see the daylight But my Becky's alone tonight I wonder if she's waitin' up for me Sometime tomorrow mornin' When I ought to be fishin' They'll probably be haulin' me in I'll be sittin' in the jail house No need to be wishin' I'll ever get to fish the green river again I"ll be prayin' for some daylight 'Cause my Becky's alone tonite I wonder if she's waitin' up for me I wonder if shes waitin' up for me
