Legend Of The Last Of The Outlaw Truckers Aka The Ballad Of Sheriff Sho Lyrics - Earth To The Dandy Warhols - Dandy Warhols

I was a shift shake shoe shake child around 

I used to live down town down in trucker town 

I was the baddest, baddest, baddest around 

but it was fifteen years since I heard a sound 

They said look it, look it, come on down 

'Cause when the law start shaking, a shaking 'em down 

they're called the last of the outlaw truckers around 

'Cause I'm me, see 

Jacked up on java and nicotine 

whoa-oh please believe me 

I know what I mean 

By the time we get to Texas he was lying 'em down 

with the bag 'o bodies all covered the ground 

I said now look it, look it, look what I found 

Short, come out and you know 

I left the armload of M16's back home 

I served 68 missions in da nang alone 

Now I'm a one more mission, that's you and that's right 

'Cause I'm me, see 

Jacked up on Meth and Dexedrine 

Whoa-oh, please believe me 

I know what I mean 

and I'm clean 

oh, I'm getting right pious now 

but if you'd seen what I've seen 

oh you know what I mean 

and i said look around, looking out and below 

you know its hard to chase shorty up in new mexico 

and then i gotta get him down to new orleans 

i'll go to eight states, in eight states straight 

Shorty you hesitates on an Ace of Hate 

we even got you started down in baton rouge 

well Shorty started shakin' while makin' his stand 

so stacks went off to get the gun from his hands 

He said Shorty got a minute? You're getting the job 

but then he pulled another pistol and said with a smile 

"Son you'd better be fast... I'll put you on the ground" 

And that's about the time that sheriff shot shorty down 

'Cause I'm mean, see 

jacked up on meth-amphetamines 

and oh-oh, please believe me 

i know what i mean 

and i'm clean 

and oh, getting all pious now 

if you've seen what i've seen 

oh you know what i mean
