I just left your town, took all your loot,
Bought a pink carnation and a pinstripe suit,
A hopped-up V8 Ford and some two-tone shoes
And I'm already gone, I left a pool of blood and sorrow
I've got the Machine Gun Blues
I'll be out of here for the break of dawn,
I'll hit the highway, smoke a big cigar,
Got to stop and bury the cash, and get some more
There's only one thing on my mind,
That's making it across that ol' state line,
Without a hail of avenging bullets,
Waiting there for me
And I'm already gone, I've left a path of pure destruction,
I've got the Machine Gun Blues
I'm already gone, my life will soon be through,
I've got the Machine Gun Blues
I'm public enemy number one
I'm sorry for the things that I've done
If indeed we do cross path, it's nothing personal
And I'm already gone, I've left a trail of devastation,
I've got the Machine Gun Blues
I'm already gone, my life will soon be through,
I've got the Machine Gun Blues
