I'm going back to Arkansas

I gotta kill my ma and pa




I'm gonna kill ma and dad,

because they made my life so sad



I run so fast, all night and day

they haunt my soul in evil ways



I don't care what the law might do

I hope your folks are good to you



I stole my neighbor's pick-up truck,

and took his daughter for good luck



I spent all my doe on a gun

liquored up to have some fun



I drink all night, and i feel real fine,

as I'm roaring past that old state line



Driving up all night and day,

just to show him on his way

(Here it comes)



I'm bailing down the streets of town

I'd love to burn the fucker down



Down the road, along the way,

I drove right past my brother, hey



I'm running up the lawn each night,

and they can't see me, there's no light



Kick down the door, then I say

'brace yourself for judgement day'





Going back to Arkansas

Burying my ma and pa



and then I'm going far away,

but where I'm going, I won't say,



cause I don't know, just where I'll run

I guess I follow the yellow sun,



or maybe north of Mexico

for I ain't saying where I'll go



I had to kill my mom and dad,

because they beat me up real bad



my daddy beat me everyday,

and what I'd done, he wouldn't say



A lether strap across my back

and punched my eyes all blue and black



So, I killed my ma and pa

I killed them both in Arkansas



made the papers so damn mad

cause I killed my ma and dad



and now I'm running night and day

where I'm going, I won't say



just me and the girl and the stolen truck

?????? (last line)
