Luzianne's been lyin in bed
I ain't heard a single word she said
Cause the TVs on and Ol Smokey is losin again
That's when she really got to carryin on
Voices ringin down the trailer walls
Got me shakin so bad, how's it gonna be when you're gone
Oh did you ever really love me at all
So I say Lucy, darling, don't you cry
Hundred dollar bill
That old prison cell couldn't hold me even if it tried
16 years, bucket o'tears gone before the end of the night
And I promised not to tell her no more lies
(So if she asks)
Then the ward of Marshall county is a dear old friend of mine
I been runnin on a pack a day
Linin cigarettes w crack cocaine has finally broken me down
Stranded in a terrible state
I been collected by the boys in blue,
All the while I was thinkin of you
Sittin alone, starin at the evening news
Oh, watchin stories of the dazed and confused
So I say Lucy, darling, don't you cry
Hundred dollar bill
That old prison cell couldn't hold me even if it tried
16 years, bucket o'tears gone before the blink of an eye
And I promised not to tell her no more lies (so if she asks)
Then the ward of marshall county is a dear old friend of mine
Luzianne's been lyin in bed
And I ain't heard a single word she said cause
The TVs on and Ol Smokey is losin again
