Letra de Nebraska

I saw her standin' on her front lawn Just a-twirlin' her baton Me and her went for a ride, sir And ten innocent people died From the town of Lincoln, Nebraska With a sawed-off .410 on my lap Through to the badlands of Wyoming I killed everything in my path I can't say that I'm sorry For the things that we done At least for a little while, sir Me and her we had us some fun The jury brought in a guilty verdict And the judge, he sentenced me to death Midnight in prision storeroom With leather straps across my chest Sheriff, when the man pulls That switch, sir, and snaps my poor neck back You make sure my pretty baby Is sittin' right there on my lap They declared me unfit to live Said into that great void my soul'd be hurled They wanted to know why I did what I did Well sir, I guess there's just a meanness in this world
