Monroe Suede
Momma played piano in a Pentecostal church
Starin' them snakes in the eye
Daddy died drunk, left us all in a lurch
Hell, I did what I did to get by
I did what I did to get by
A third grade education won't bring you no luck
When you're looking for a way to get paid
Turned 14 and stole a pickup truck
Couldn't make it on minimum wage
Couldn't make it on minimum wage
Well, I almost got caught in Tulsa town
They had me one foot in the grave
Oh, they're gonna die trying to track me down
But they'll never catch Monroe Suede
No, they'll never catch Monroe Suede
Well, you can't stay long when you're living on the run
And the high sheriff's lookin' for you
Never shot nobody with a loaded gun
But I found me a lover or two
Well, I almost got caught in Tulsa town
They had me one foot in the grave
Oh, they're gonna die trying to track me down
But they'll never catch Monroe Suede
No, they'll never catch Monroe Suede
Momma still plays piano in the same ol' church
Helpin' them sinners get saved
Daddy died drunk, left us all in a lurch
And they call me Monroe Suede
Well, I almost got caught in Tulsa town
They had me one foot in the grave
Oh, they're gonna die trying to track me down
But they'll never catch Monroe Suede
No, they'll never catch Monroe Suede
They'll never catch Monroe Suede
No, no
Starin' them snakes in the eye
Daddy died drunk, left us all in a lurch
Hell, I did what I did to get by
I did what I did to get by
A third grade education won't bring you no luck
When you're looking for a way to get paid
Turned 14 and stole a pickup truck
Couldn't make it on minimum wage
Couldn't make it on minimum wage
Well, I almost got caught in Tulsa town
They had me one foot in the grave
Oh, they're gonna die trying to track me down
But they'll never catch Monroe Suede
No, they'll never catch Monroe Suede
Well, you can't stay long when you're living on the run
And the high sheriff's lookin' for you
Never shot nobody with a loaded gun
But I found me a lover or two
Well, I almost got caught in Tulsa town
They had me one foot in the grave
Oh, they're gonna die trying to track me down
But they'll never catch Monroe Suede
No, they'll never catch Monroe Suede
Momma still plays piano in the same ol' church
Helpin' them sinners get saved
Daddy died drunk, left us all in a lurch
And they call me Monroe Suede
Well, I almost got caught in Tulsa town
They had me one foot in the grave
Oh, they're gonna die trying to track me down
But they'll never catch Monroe Suede
No, they'll never catch Monroe Suede
They'll never catch Monroe Suede
No, no
