I've been framed,
I've been framed,
I've been framed
Got in some trouble
downtown last night
Started with words,
ended in a fight
Someone threw a fist,
somebody swung a pipe
Then someone pulled a gun
and somebody used tonight
Fort Worth, sidewalk sizzlin' hot
Houston, Texas, that's my home
Sometimes bad luck is all I got
Why can't trouble just leave me
alone?
Tattooed parlor by a rib
shack on the corner,
got a friend over there, I bet ter go see
Lightning's quick but I
gotta be faster,
I reckon the police will be look
ing for me
I'll be afraid, I'll be afraid,
I'll be afraid
So hey daddy -o, where do you go?
I'll meet you kinda late
at the edge of the bayou
Hey Jack, let's make a track
I don't care if I never come
back
I could run to Louisiana,
maybe up to Alabama
I think I got some family livin' in Mobile
Follow those back way red dirt roads
To lonesome man homesick is all I need
Hope a jungle sits down by the bayou
The water is dirty, they call it browns
So I got some friends down there,
say they'll hide me out
In a gambling shack on the edge of
town
So hey daddy -o, where do you go?
I'll meet you kinda late
at the edge of the bayou
Hey Jack, let's make a track
I don't care if I never come back
I've been praying
I've been praying
I've been praying
I've been praying
I've been free
I've been free
I've been free
I've been free
I've been framed,
I've been framed
