Like most men, This happened to me. Didn't kill anyone, but sure felt like it.

Woke up one morning, I heard a whistle blow.
Woke up one morning, I heard a whistle blow.
Heard someone say lay back down boy, cause you ain't got no place to go.

Came home early one morning
Caught my women in the arms of my very best friend
Yea, I Came home early one morning
Caught my women in the arms of my very best friend.
They looked up at me and laughed, and to their love affair, I put an end.

I took out my Smith and Wesson
I put it to their heads, Then I pulled the trigger.

Well they got me diggin ditches and breakin rocks
Out here in this hot New Mexico Sun.
They got me diggin ditches and breakin rocks
Out here in this hot New Mexico Sun.
3 hundred miles of desert in every direction
So I ain't got no place, No where to run.

Woke up one morning, I heard a whistle blow.
Woke up one morning, I heard a whistle blow.
Heard a convict say lay back down convict,
cause you ain't got no place to go.

Yea I put them in the ground
Six Foot Down, Yes Sir
