Swing Low
I looked in the mirror and what did I see
the boys in blue was a comin after me
Swing low...
We busted out of boot camp at lake cassidy
livin in them backwoods for a month or mebbe three
Dave and Manny got the groceries from pullin b and e's
An I got myself a shotty out of some fool's back seat
Swing low...
When they saw the blue lights flashin', my boys was cross with me
I put it down to envy and I shot em down like skeet
Well shootin and a speedin both at once ain't so easy
Well I missed some geezer's towncar and I hit his neighbor's tree
I blacked out and had a vision bout the boy that I used to be
and I'll be damned if I could tell you how he turned into me
There ain't nothin' good about me but I know I must live free
And I pray that God in heaven can accept a wretch like me
I came to the blood and mud and a backwards bendin knee
and a dozen pissed-off staties pumpin' lead rocks into me
I couldn't hear nothin but my heartbeat gettin slow
And my desperate prayers to Jesus for to save my depraved soul
