Everyone in Nacadoches knew Tom Ame's would come to some bad end Well the sheriff had caught him stealin' chickens and such By the time that he was tenAnd one day his daddy took a ten dollar bill And he tucked it in his hand He said I can tell you're headed for trouble son And your momma wouldn't understandSo he took that money and his brothers old bay And he left without a word of thanks Fell in with a crowd in some border town And took to robbing banksWell outside the law your luck will run out fast And a few years came and went 'Till he's trapped in an alley in Abilene With all but four shells spentAnd he realized praying was the only thing That he hadn't ever tried Well he wasn't sure he knew quite how But he looked up to the skySaid you don't owe me nothing and as far as I know Lord don't owe nothing to you And I ain't asking for a miracle Lord Just a little bit of luck will doAnd you know I ain't never prayed before But it always seemed to me If praying is the same as begging Lord I don't take no charityYeah but right now Lord with my back to the wall Can't help but recall How they nearly hung me for stealing a horse In Fort Smith ArkansasJudge Parker said guilty and the gavel came down Just like a cannon shot And I went away quietly And I began to file and plotWell they sent the preacher down to my cell He said the Lord is your only hope He's the only friend that you gonna have When you hit the end of Parker's ropeWell I guess he could of kept on preaching till Christmas But he turned his back on me I put a home made blade to that golden throat And asked the deputy for the keyWell it ain't the first close call I ever had As I'm sure you already know I had some help from you Lord and the devil himself It's been strictly touch and go Yeah but who in the hell am I talking to There ain't no one here but me And then he cocked both his pistols and he spit in the dirt And he walked out in the street
