Jonesboro Lyrics


Walking down that road from Jonesboro

And I’m the meanest S.O.B. that you’ll ever know

South bound traffic, “can’t I just hitch a ride?”

“Yeah! I’m headed that way, boy! Jump inside!”

All the things you say about all the things you do

It’s about time to put you down, I swear I’ll see it through

“Get in or I’ll confess your sins with this gun

That I’m holding to the back of your head!”

I said, “You best just drive on to Jonesboro!

‘Cause I’m the meanest son of a bitch you’ll ever know!”

No matter what you think

Nothing you’ve heard is true

It’s a bad joke and you’re the clown

They’re laughing right at you

“Get in or I’ll confess your sins with this gun

That I’m holding to the back of your head!”

I said, “You best just drive on to Jonesboro!

‘Cause I’m the meanest son of a bitch you’ll ever know!”
