E A E
He said I'm sorry to tell you put your body's out lived your brain

He said I know this doctor in New York son

So the head doctor met me when I stepped down off the train.

He said we had this bank robber killed last night

His body's shot but his brain's alright

I got my new brain in and I was feelin' great

I went right back to Nashville with no head ache

But somethin' strange happened when I walked in the bank one day.

I said stick 'em up everybody I'm robbin' this place

Drop all of your money in my guitar case
