Tune a full step down to match record
[Verse 1]
GIt was a cold and cruel evening
Sneaking uCp on Speedy CreGek
Found myself aDsleepin' in the sGnow
For one or two odd reasons
I ain't Ctoo proud to Grepeat
For Anow we'll say I had no place to Dgo
GThere was a rustle and a humming
Just hCauling down the stGreet
I drew myself up Dfrom my icy Gbed
GPainted on that shiny car the letters 'CRCM and PG'
GI can feel a little acDhing in my Ghead
[Verse 2]
GAnd then out jumps this old boy
About Ctwice the size of Gme
He asked me for my Dname and where I Gdwelt
I just looked him in the eye
And sang 'Blue CYodel Number G9'
AHe didn't catch the reference, I could teDll
GThen the old, familiar click
and the hCandcuffs bind and Ggrip
Should have left me in the Dsnow, where I lGaid
GHe just laughed and touched his gun
And turned Cto me and said
GSon, I bet you don't own a Ddamn thing
GTo your name
[Chorus]
Well, I got my Chealth
My John B SteGtson
Got a Dbottle full of baby's bluebird Gwine
And I left my Cstash
Somewhere down in GPreston
Along with Dthirteen silver dollars and my mGind
Well, I got my Chealth
My John B SteGtson
Got a Dbottle full of baby's bluebird Gwine
And I left my Cstash
Somewhere down in GPreston
Along with Dthirteen silver dollars and my mGind
