[INTRO]
E7        A
[Verse 1]
ADrinkin' black coffee from a styrofoam cup, he lays a Equarter on the box
EHe says "I like the way he sings and I like to hear him play, I just don't wanna hear him Atalk"
AAnd he's sittin' in the corner of the Blue Spruce Bar, with a Ewhite peace-flag t-shirt
EHe's got his sleeves rolled up and he's a-waitin' for the man that put his name in the Adirt
[Pre-Chorus]
AHe says "Wait, wait a E7minute
E"See that that barrel over there'll come flyin' through the air
"I'm gonna put your head right in Ait"
AHe says "Don't, don't you do E7it
E"See that bar that holds the beer that's a-sittin' right here?
"I'm gonna put your head right though Ait"
[Chorus]
AAnd if earthly justice just don't get Dthem in the end
There's Ealways a heavenly trial on its Away
AAnd if the bank is empty and there just ain't no Dmoney to spend
At lEeast you still got something to Asay
[Verse 2]
AAnd he's talkin' to his family through the holes in the glass, he says that Ehe's a changed man
EHe says "I learned a thing or two, like when to start new, and a fire don't need a Afan"
ANow he's pushin' broom at the valley highschool, he's Ekeepin' it all in the closet
EThe Judge, he said, "So you better keep your lid on, that seems to be just what Acaused it"
[Pre-Chorus]
AHe says "Wait, wait a E7minute
E"See that that barrel over there'll come flyin' through the air
"I'm gonna put your head right in Ait"
AHe says "Don't, don't you do E7it
E"See that bar that holds the beer that's a-sittin' right here?
"I'm gonna put your head right though Ait"
[Chorus]
AAnd if earthly justice just don't get Dthem in the end
There's Ealways a heavenly trial on its Away
AAnd if the bank is empty and there just ain't no Dmoney to spend
EAt least you still got something to Asay
[Chorus]
AAnd if earthly justice just don't get Dthem in the end
There's Ealways a heavenly trial on its Away
AAnd if the bank is empty and there just ain't no Dmoney to spend
EAt least you still got something to Asay
EAt least you still got something to Asay
