I stole a rag top Cadillac,
going home I had to cross the tracks.
Train was coming when the engine died.
I jumped out and watched the two colide.
I barely had the time to save my hide.
Can't even do wrong right.
Without a dime at 35, I have up on the good life.
I robbed a bank with my .45, I was headed for the border line.
When my gas tank went bone dry.
Can't even do wrong right.
Back where I come from, well they call it hard luck.
But that judge of mine, just called it hard time.
I'm payin' my dues doing time,
the wardens teaching me to walk the line.
But temptation he's a friend of mine,
he found us a fence to climb.
But then the spot light robbed us blind.
Can't even do wrong right.
Back where I come from, well they call it hard luck.
But that judge of mine, just called it hard time.
I can't even do wrong right
