I was staring through the jail bars Over the open prairie sky Bob the deputy was singing I thought I heard coyotes cry I was thinking 'bout my mama The meanest whore in Texas town Yes, she sold me to Tex Shorty The horny dwarf with the sore in his eye But I was dreaming of Clint Eastwood A handsome man, magnum 45 I was in love with my lone ranger So I had to kill his wife Don't kill for love God is watching from above The devil's gonna send you straight to hell Don't kill for love God is watching from above Life ain't always easy, I can tell ♪ Don't kill for love God is watching from above The devil's gonna send you straight to hell
