Back Up Against The Wall Lyrics - Travis Tritt

(J.R. Cobb/Buddy Buie) 

I was dealin' up and down the highway 

Till they caught me with a heavy load 

They sentenced me to hard labor 

Workin' on the side of the road 

Now I don't deny I was guilty 

And I know I broke the law 

I was hungry and broke and couldn't see no hope 

And my back was up against the wall 

Now I'm right outside your window 

Honey, open up and let me in 

I broke out of jail this mornin' 

And I ain't never goin' back again 

I just had to stop by for a minute 

And I can't stay long at all 

'Cause I gotta run you see I'm under the gun 

And my back is up against the wall

I was shackled to a three-time loser 

A man named Jefferson 

One night we got to talkin' 

And I asked him what he'd done 

He said a man fell over my razor 

In the middle of a barroom brawl 

But don't you see it was him or me 

And my back was up against the wall 

Now I'm right outside your window 

Honey, open up and let me in 

I broke out of jail this mornin' 

And I ain't never goin' back again 

I just had to stop by for a minute 

And I can't stay long at all 

'Cause I gotta run you see I'm under the gun 

And my back is up against the wall

Now I'm right outside your window 

Honey, open up and let me in 

I broke out of jail this mornin' 

And I ain't never goin' back again 

I just had to stop by for a minute 

And I can't stay long at all 

'Cause I gotta run you see I'm under the gun 

And my back is up against the wall 

I gotta run you see I'm under the gun 

And my back is up against the wall 

Yeah, I gotta run you see I'm under the gun 

And my back is up against the wall...
