Save Me (The Ballad of Odell Barnes, Jr.)
Hey buddy wanna buy a gun?
It's sorta new, don't think it's ever been shot
It's not as old as it seems
It's the piece of your dreams
And if you could hit me with a few bucks
For this thrity-two that'd just about-a
Save me
Save Me
Her name was Helen Bass
I knew her, but not that well
Beaten dead with a lamp
They it was my stamp, lock me up in a prison cell
Threw me down to my private hell
Won't somebody
Save me
Save me
Save me now
Save me
Save me
Save me now
Three hours to decide
If man's gonna live, or if he's gonna die
What's it gonna take, for me to survive?
I wanna live, I wanna live, I wanna stay alive
I don't wanna die
Save me
Save me
Save me now
Won't somebody
Save me
Save me
Save me now
The darkness chases me, as we reach for the light
Life ain't been that good to me
Why why why? don't now why
Ain't the lie that killed a man
If you're lookin' for the devil, that ain't who I am
That night on the east side, down on 1st street where she died
They put my life on trial, with God on their side
With vengeance in their fist, no compassion in your heart
Three hours to decide that a man's gonna die
Save me
Save me
Save me now
It's sorta new, don't think it's ever been shot
It's not as old as it seems
It's the piece of your dreams
And if you could hit me with a few bucks
For this thrity-two that'd just about-a
Save me
Save Me
Her name was Helen Bass
I knew her, but not that well
Beaten dead with a lamp
They it was my stamp, lock me up in a prison cell
Threw me down to my private hell
Won't somebody
Save me
Save me
Save me now
Save me
Save me
Save me now
Three hours to decide
If man's gonna live, or if he's gonna die
What's it gonna take, for me to survive?
I wanna live, I wanna live, I wanna stay alive
I don't wanna die
Save me
Save me
Save me now
Won't somebody
Save me
Save me
Save me now
The darkness chases me, as we reach for the light
Life ain't been that good to me
Why why why? don't now why
Ain't the lie that killed a man
If you're lookin' for the devil, that ain't who I am
That night on the east side, down on 1st street where she died
They put my life on trial, with God on their side
With vengeance in their fist, no compassion in your heart
Three hours to decide that a man's gonna die
Save me
Save me
Save me now
