Angry Johnny And The k**billies - King's Highway lyrics

I k**ed J.C. down in Chesterfield And now they're cooking my last meal He had it comin' I still contend, but we all know how this story ends. It happened up on King's Highway Was a cold dark winter Saturday I took him up into the trees I put that ba*tard on his knees I said, why'd you do the things you did? God dammit she was just a kid He laughed and said: "She was a dear" I slit his throat from ear to ear His laughing stopped, his body fell He gurgled like an artesian well I beat him 'till my knuckles broke I beat him 'till his face was gone When they found me I was drenched with blood and they found his body in the mud They said: "What were you thinkin' son?" I said "I did what you all should've done" So here we are my final hours Dammed by fools and judged by cowards I made peace with my sweet lord The rest of you are on your own I made peace with my sweet lord The rest of you are on your own
