I was sipping some wine in the back of a dive
When a pretty little lady suddenly caught my eye
I took my chance and I asked her to dance
We got down to funky town and I filled up her glass
We talked and we laughed for an hour or two
Asked if we should dip and we could go get a room
I'm getting lucky tonight
But nothing turned out right
How was I supposed to know
That some gangster's wife's a hoe
He's awfully mad and awfully swole
We were laying in bed and she was giving me head
When a man broke down the door with a bat made of lead
I tried to explain but he was drunk in a rage
Insanely mad he swung the bat but I ducked out the way
I tried to run out but he cornered me quick
Told me she was his women and I'm in some deep shit
The moment he turned away
Out the window I escaped
And now I'm laying low
I left my wallet on the floor
All my info he now knows
This man is gonna kill me so I better hit the road
I need to reinvent myself cause I'm never going home
Do you think I should run and hide?
Or just face him and probably die?
I was waiting it out inside a fleabag motel
When I looked out the window and I saw for myself
The man from before has came to settle the score
He's walking straight toward my door holding a 44
There's nowhere to hide this time but I got a plan
I'm gonna dig in my heels in and fight like man
And when he opened the door
He got more than he bargained for
Feel the wrath of my 44
I'm gonna die but at least I know
I shot you down I stole your soul
I shot you down
Who runs this town?
