The Legend of the Last of the Outlaw Truckers AKA The Ballad of Sheriff Shorty Lyrics

I was a ship shake shooter shaken talent around
I used to live downtown down in trucker town
I was the baddest, baddest, baddest around
But it was fifteen years since I heard a sound
They said look it, look it, wont you come on down
Cause when the law start shaking, a shaking 'em down
The called the last of the outlawing truckers around

Cause I'm me, see
Jacked up on java and nicotine
Whoa-oh please believe me
I know what I mean

By the time we get to Texas he was lying 'em down
With the bag 'o bodies all covered the ground
I said now look, look, look what I found
... Sheriff Shorty found
I called him out hey Shorty, hey come out and you know
I left the armload of M16's back home
I served 68 missions in Da Nang alone
Now I'm a one more mission and that's you and that's right

Cause I'm me, see
Jacked up on Meth and Dexedrine
Whoa-oh, please believe me
I know what I mean
And I'm clean
Oh, I'm getting right pious now
But if you'd seen what I've seen
Oh you know what I mean

I said uh look around, lookin out and below
You know its hard to chase shorty up in New Mexico
...
And then I get, i gotta get em down to New Orleans
I drove eight states, and eight states straight
Shorty you hesitates on an a ...
I said a shorty, trippy, mean old dude
I knew I got you when you started back in Baton Rouge
Well Shorty started shakin and makin a stand
So Stacks... took the gun from his hands
He said Shorty got to pay, you're getting the job
But then he pulled another pistol and said with a smile
"Son you better be fast... I'll put you under the ground"
And that's about the time I shot Sheriff Shorty down

Cause I'm mean, see
Jacked up on meth-amphetamines
And oh-oh, please believe me
I know what I mean
And I'm clean,
Oh, I'm getting all pious now
And if you've seen what I've seen
Oh you know what I mean
