ARKANSAS REVISITED
(newcombe/manson)
I'm going back to Arkansas
I gotta kill my Ma and Pa
I'm gonna kill my Ma and Dad
Because they made my life so sad
I run so fast all night and day
They're on my soul in evil ways
I don't care what the lawman do
I hope your folks are good to you
I stole my neighbor's pickup truck
I took his daughter for good luck
I spent all my dough on a gun
Liquored up to have some fun
I drink all night and I feel real fine
'Cause I'm rolling past that old state line
Driving off all night and day
Just to show me I'm his way ??
Walking down the streets of town
I'd love to burn the fucker down
Down the road, along the way
I drove right past my brother's ??
I'm counting up the longest night
They can't see me, there's no light
Kick down the door, and then I say
Don't piss yourself on judgment day
Going back to Arkansas
Burying my Ma and Pa
Then I'm going far away
Where I'm going, I won't say
'Cause I don't know just where I'll run
I guess I'll just follow Noah's sun
Maybe north or Mexico
I ain't saying where I'll go
I had to kill my Mom and Dad
Because they beat me up real bad
My Daddy beat me every day
For what I done, he wouldn't say
A leather strap across my back
Closed my eyes ??
So I killed my Ma and Pa
Killed them both in Arkansas
?? so damn mad
'Cause I killed my Mom and Dad
And now I'm running night and day
Where I'm going I won't say
Just me and the girl in the stolen truck
I hope they ??, its tough luck
