Killing My Old Man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I think its gone far enough
I can't take it anymore
I've got to even up the score
Before he sweeps me off the floor
I've really got to find a way
Of taking care of him for good
I know he'd kill me if he could
So I'll nail him to the wood
(Chorus)
Killing my old man
You may not understand
He's a terrible man
Got to make a stand
And kill the old man
Every time that I think he's gone and I've finally won
He just keeps coming back, puts me on the run
I think I'd better do it now
Get my hammer and a nail
Pray to God I that I won't fail
Lest he'll keep me in the jail
And I don't wanna stay in jail!
