".38 Special" lyrics

Wake up early in the mornin'
Cup of coffee and a Marlboro red
Checkin' water everyday on the farm
I'm gonna say a little prayer in my head

The center-pivot been givin' me hell
Changed the tire on the tractor again
This panhandle livin'
Is enough to make an old man grim

I met my daughter at the diner
Try to see her once everyday
She lost her mama when she was five years old
Freightliner took my lover away

I heard the pickup pullin' in to the lot
Saw her smile when he walked through the door
Tell me little mama
Whose the fella you been smilin' for?

Haven't seen her in a while now
Little mama, tell me where've you been
The law told me that her lover is bad
I heard he did a couple years in the pen

I called my daughter on my cellular line
The bartender man he picked up the phone
He said, "Hey there, old timer
Better leave me and your daughter alone"

Hit the gas on the F-150 gonna push the pedal down to the floor
Ain't no low livin' son of gun gonna hurt my little daughter no more
This .38 special gonna holler when the sun goes down
And if I don't get in to heaven I'm gonna smile when the devil is around

Goin' 90 on the highway
Gonna give the man a piece of my mind
Ain't no bartendin' son of a gun gonna hurt no little daughter of mine
I swore to heaven and the moon and the stars
I'm gonna shoot the feller right in the head
This little .38 special gonna fill the bartender with lead

Hit the gas on the F-150 gonna push the pedal down to the floor
Ain't no low livin' son of gun gonna hurt my little daughter no more
This .38 special gonna hollar when the sun goes down
And if I don't get in to heaven I'ma smile when the devils around
