Mama never understood what itÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂ's like for a losinÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂ' man.
When her number-one son goes bad playinÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂ' cards with the devilÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂ's hand.
Boy, Daddy got real sick so quick ******* never understand.

Cool, cool waterÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂ

Jimmy grew up so fast, then he met me at the pass one day,
Said, ÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂYouÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂ're a wanted man ÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂ Take your brotherÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂ's hand ÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂ

So we rode late in the night like the fires of the desert sand
Till one day the posse caught us ÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂcause the sherriff always gets his man.
Gimme some water!
ÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂCause I killed a man on the Mexican border.

Take the restless horse ÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂ tie my hands, of course -
Tell my mother that IÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂ'm finally free.
Let me die like a man no one understands ÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂ
Let me pray ÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂ Let a poor man pray!
Smack that horse in the ass.
