Ol' Smokey Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lucy Ann's been lying in bed
I  ain't heard a single word she said 'cause the TV's on
Ol'  Smokey is losing again
It's when she really got to carrying on
Voices ringing down the trailer walls
Got  me shaking so bad, how's it gonna be when you're gone
Woah,  did you ever really love me at all?

[Chorus]
And I said, "Lucy, darling, don't you cry"
Hundred  dollar bill, that old prison cell couldn't hold me even if they tried
16 years, bucket of tears gone before the blink of an eye
And I promised not to tell her no more lies
So if she asks
Then  the warden of Marshall County is a dear old friend of mine

[Verse 2]
I've been running on a pack a day
Lining cigarettes with crack cocaine
Has finally broken me down, stranded in a terrible state I've been collected by the boys in blue
All the while I was thinking of you
Sitting alone, staring at the evening news
Woah, watching stories of the dazed and confused

[Chorus]
So I said, "Lucy, darling, don't you cry"
Hundred dollar bill, that old prison cell couldn't hold me even if they tried
16 years, bucket of tears gone before the end of the night
And I promised not to tell her no more lies
So if she asks
Then the warden of Marshall County is a dear old friend of mine
Come on light ‘em up

[Outro]
Lucy Ann's been lying in bed
And I ain't heard a single word she said
'Cause the TV's on, Ol' Smokey is losing again
Hmm-mmm-mmm, hmm-mmm-mmm
Hmm-mmm-mmm, hmm-mmm-mmm
