Back Up Against The Wall

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 was dealin' up and down the highway

Till they caught me with a heavy load

They sentenced me to hard labor

Workin' on the side of the road

Now I don't deny I was guilty

And I know I broke the law

I was hungry and broke and couldn't see no hope

And my back was up against the wall

Now I'm right outside your window

Honey open up and let me in

I broke out of jail this mornin'

And I ain't never goin' back again

I just had to stop by for a minute

And I can't stay long at all

'Cause I gotta run you see I'm under the gun

And my back is up against the wall

I was shackled to a three-time loser

A man named Jefferson

One night we got to talkin'

And I asked him what he'd done

He said a man fell over my razor

In the middle of a barroom brawl

But don't you see it was him or me

And my back was up against the wall

Now I'm right outside your window

Honey open up and let me in

I broke out of jail this mornin'

And I ain't never goin' back again

I just had to stop by for a minute

And I can't stay long at all

'Cause I gotta run you see I'm under the gun

And my back is up against the wall

Now I'm right outside your window

Honey open up and let me in

I broke out of jail this mornin'

And I ain't never goin' back again

I just had to stop by for a minute

And I can't stay long at all

'Cause I gotta run you see I'm under the gun

And my back is up against the wall

I gotta run you see I'm under the gun

And my back is up against the wall

Yeah I gotta run you see I'm under the gun

And my back is up against the wall
