Life, Love, Death And The Meter Man Lyrics - Singles - Angry Johnny And The Killbillies

He was holding the McCulloch 

When he knocked upon her door 

Yesterday she said she didn't love him anymore 

But it wasn't her who answered 

It was some guy he didn't know 

So he fired up that chainsaw 

and he laid that sucker low 

But when he saw the clipboard lying 

in the severed hand 

He realized that he just limbed from limbed 

the meter man 

Heard the sirens coming, and he sat 

down on the steps 

Shut off his McCulloch and he lit a cigarette 

The verdict, it was guilty and they said 

"you're gonna fry" 

He didn't see her in the back row, 

didn't hear her cry 

All that he could see was the terrified 

face of the meter man 

The moment that he sent him packing to the 

promised land 

They led him down the hallway, 

and the priest said him a prayer 

He wasn't none too happy, 

but he knew that fair was fair 

Still he'd like to thank the meter man, 

for coming to the door 

Otherwise his true love would be 

lying scattered on the floor 

And as for her, she never loved again, 

no not one time 

And though she broke his heart 

and led him to this ghastly crime 

She prayed each day they'd be 

together on the other side 

And she cried herself to sleep each night until the 

day she died
