Shot Full Of Holes Lyrics - Singles - Larue Stoney

Hes twenty one and jealous 

Of his shadow outside the fence 

Got a bible from his cellmate 

Hes searching for a second chance 

Hopes that he can make it outside 

Before his little girl learns to talk 

Hopes he can get it all figured out 

Before the judge says that he can walk 

Chorus 

Cause its hot-wired, too tired for being who hes been 

Car theft, whats left? He aint ever going back again 

He aint ever going back to tie himself to the whipping pole 

His American dream like the county line sign that he shot full of holes 

And two to four dont seem like much 

Until youre stuck in an eight by ten 

He felt guilty damn near all his life 

Much more now than then 

He wrote a letter to Jesus last night 

And he nailed it up to the cross 

Yeah hes free in his heart but at night in the dark 

You know the man, hes still the boss 

Chorus 

And its hot-wired, too tired for being who hes been 

Car theft, whats left? He aint ever going back again 

He aint ever going back to tie himself to the whipping pole 

His American dream like the county line sign that he shot full of holes 

He walked through the gate last Thursday 

And headed on into town 

What did he see but a Cadillac there 

With all its windows down 

And its broke down, hands bound 

And its back to who he was 

No change. It seems strange 

It aint ever been push to shove 

And now hes going back, to tie himself to the whipping pole 

His American dream like the county line sign 

That he shot full of holes 

To his American dream like the county line sign 

That he shot full of holes
