Twenty Years Lyrics - Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc., Etc. - Dwight Yoakam

Hey look yonder, Henry, comes the sherrif 

And he's carrying a warrant in his hand 

Don't you run, poor old Henry, for he'll shoot you 

Lord, Lord 

Not long will you be a free man 

Chorus: 

Now twenty years you must spend behind steel bars 

For a crime that you did not do 

Yeah the lie she swore in that district court 

Has proved to be the ruin of you

Tried to warn you, Henry, not to cross her 

Tried to tell you about her vengeful ways 

When you turned and left her for another 

She swore, Henry, that she'd make you pay 

Chorus: 

Now twenty years you must spend behind steel bars 

For a crime that you did not do 

Yeah, the lie she swore in that district court 

Has proved to be the ruin of you

Listen well, all you young rounders 

Heed the lesson poor old Henry never learned 

That even hell with all its fiery power 

Hath no fury like a woman's scorned
