Jay Michael Adams, 35
Kentucky-born and he's survived
By his wife and his three boys
Good Lord
Plain wooden casket
Peace lilies in a wicker basket
Dry eyes, it's no surprise
He was livin' on borrowed time
Who did it? Who done did it?
Somebody took one for the team
Who did it? Who done did it?
Never gonna find out it was me
She called me up at a quarter past three
"Big Sister, he hit me"
Enough is enough, said, "Give me 15"
'Cause blood's thicker than whiskey
I waited long enough, 'til he was blackout drunk
Cinder block on the pedal, threw him in his truck
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Who did it? Who done did it?
Never gonna find out it was me
Who did it? Who done did it?
I'll take it to the grave, baby, rest in peace
♪
His momma's still cryin'
And the preacher keeps on lyin'
No, he was not a man of God
'Cause he'd been caught too many times
He was a thief and a cheater
A natural-born deceiver
But the moment that he beat her
His ass was mine
She called me up at a quarter past three
"Big Sister, he hit me"
Enough is enough, said, "Give me 15"
'Cause blood's thicker than whiskey
I waited long enough, 'til he was blackout drunk
Cinder block on the pedal, threw him in his truck
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Who did it? Who done did it?
Never gonna find out it was me
Who did it? Who done did it?
I'll take it to the grave, baby, rest in peace

I don't claim to be a saint
But, no, it didn't feel like a sin
It felt like he got what was comin' to him
She called me up at a quarter past three
"Big Sister, he hit me"
Enough is enough, said, "Give me 15"
'Cause blood's thicker than whiskey
I waited long enough, 'til he was blackout drunk
Cinder block on the pedal, threw him in his truck
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Who did it? Who done did it?
Never gonna find out it was me
Who did it? Who done did it?
I'll take it to the grave, baby, rest in peace
