Nebraska

I saw her standing on her front lawn just twirling her baton
Me and her went for a ride sir and ten innocent people died
From the town of Lincoln, Nebraska with a sawed-off 410 on my lap
Through to the badlands of Wyoming I killed everything in my path

I can't say that I'm sorry for the things that we done
At least for a little while sir, me and her we had us some fun

The jury brought in a guilty verdict and the judge he sentenced me to death
Midnight in a prison storeroom with leather straps across my chest
Sheriff, when the man pulls that switch sir and snaps my poor head back
You make sure my pretty baby is sitting right there on my lap

They declared me unfit to live said into that great void my soul'd be hurled
They wanted to know why I did what I did
Well, sir I guess there's just a meanness in this world
