I Can't Stick Around to Take the Fall

Lyrics

I Can’t Stick Around to Take the Fall, You All By W. Montgomery Verse: It started out near Atlanta, G.A. Seems there were some fines I didn’t pay 90 days home detention to get through But I had more important things to do I tried my thumb on the West Expressway Got a ride from some kids in a ragtop Chevrolet We were smoking weed and getting kind of fried They forgot to tell me that it was a stolen ride Chorus: I can’t stick around to take the fall, you all You know I’ve had some problems with the law Why can’t they just go and let me be Even a fool’s got a right to be free Verse: The driver’s girl, Betty Sue, wasn’t shy at all I go crazy when I hear that Georgia drawl The driver said, Boy, I’ll see your ass in hell If you don’t stop trying to ring my southern belle Verse: A trooper ran us down near the Alabama line I got the drop on him, left him moaning in the pines I surely didn’t mean to hurt him none It’s so sad to see a cop without his gun Chorus: I can’t stick around to take the fall, you all You know I’ve had some problems with the law Why can’t they just go and let me be Even a fool’s got a right to be free ----------------------------------------------- Break: ----------------------------------------------- Verse: I took the wheel and turned it to the south The driver didn’t like that Glock auto in his mouth The couple in the back jumped out and lightened the load I guess they lost their love for the road We stopped for gas about two hours from the gulf The chump at the pump was acting mighty tough I showed him the gun and the smirk fell from his face And I helped him back to the office to open the safe Chorus: I can’t stick around to take the fall, you all You know I’ve had some problems with the law Why can’t they just go and let me be Even a fool’s got a right, (right to be free) to be free Verse: We hit the roadblock across from a railroad yard Ten police cruisers and they called out the National Guard A crowd had gathered, they were all messed up with beer They hadn’t seen this much excitement in years I said Betty Sue take off your clothes and walk towards the cops I tossed the cash in the air and the drunks dove in as it dropped During the commotion I took off into the woods A few months in jail will do that little hussy good Chorus: I can’t stick around to take the fall, you all You know I’ve had some problems with the law Why can’t they just go and let me be Even a fool’s got a right to be free
