listen sheriff i got something to say
about that girl that got killed the other day
her name was mary and while in my bed she lay
i took my gun and i blew her away

she had some pressure pushing down on my brain
she want my money like the grass want the rain
and she was starting to act freaky insane
so i shot her. but now i want to see her again.

oh sheriff call the hangman
and tell him to bring his rope
you got to put me in the gallows
i want to see my baby again

i hate the way she always nagged in my ear
i hate the way she always drinking my beer
i hate the way her body shivered with fear
but i miss that bitch for reasons that just ain't quite clear

so sheriff, call the hangman
and tell him to bring his rope
you got to put me in the gallows
i want to see my baby again

Put Me in the Gallows(rough)

she fell behind in life for the first time when she got caught
drawing graffiti on the walls of town hall
she fell behind in life when she had her first baby
she fell behind in life and lost

my ma said
she just got 
caught up with the wrong kind of guys
i guess she just didn't mind
throwing her future on the line for some high
she fell behind in life and lost

she fell behind in life for the second time
when she had her second baby
picked up a second shift at the bar
sold her '98 'stang
moved back in with her mother
she fell behind in life and lost

Graffiti On The Wall

Alice she comes and she goes from my life.
Alice every time I think I'm done, she's taking off her top,
or I am, binging on her love.

Alice my headache and my nausea, but baby I still need ya.
Where am I going? Hey, where you going? We'd only just begun
and now I need more of your love.

Alice she comes when I kiss her soft, then tip-toes out the door.
Alice oh why'd you slam the bedroom door when you told me to be quiet?
And why'd I let you in my life?

Take me, break me, leave me coming back for more.

Alice she comes and she goes from my life.
Alice every time I think she's changed she's proving me all wrong,
or I am changing my own mind.

Alice you left me standing all alone at the bar on New Year's Eve.
Alice you never called me back. Are you ever coming back?
Or should I get on with my life?

Take me, break me, leave me wanting.
Alice. Come back, Alice.
