King’s Highway
©Angry Johnny And The Killbillies-Bonesaw lullaby BMI

I killed JC down in Chesterfield
And now they’re cooking my last meal
He had it coming I still contend
But we know how this story ends

It happened up on King’s Highway
It was a cold dark winter Saturday
I took him out into the trees
I put that bastard on his knees

I said why’d you do the things you did
God damn it she was just a kid
He laughed and said she was a dear
I slit his throat from ear to ear

His laughing stopped his body fell
He gurgled like an artesian well
I beat him till my knuckles broke
I beat him till his face was gone

When they found me I was drenched with blood
Then they found his body in the mud
They said what was it you were thinking son
I said I did what you all should’ve done

So here we are my final hour
Damned by fools and judged by cowards
I’ve made peace with my sweet Lord
The rest of you are on your own

I get on with my days
In a permanent haze
People think it’s a phase
But my madness is growing…
