Out on the road, no place to stay
I'm dosin' off at a long night cafe
You the prettiest thing I'd ever seen
That kicked me good, cigarette machine
And after that very hard night of drinkin'
You shot your mouth off about your thinkin'
As smoke cleared and I stumbled toward the door
I saw you laugh as Bobby Jackson hit the floor
Hard livin', hot roddin', white lightnin'
Sounded off, still kinda frightenin'
My head still has a bounty
Hot summer in Barefoot County
ย
From a chain gang I watched you run free
Somehow you put the blame all on me
Ten years before they let me out
You the kind of girl my mama warned me about
Hard livin', hot roddin', white lightnin'
Sounded off, still kinda frightenin'
My head still has a bounty
Hot summer in Barefoot County
ย
Nine pound hammer in my hand, sheriff turned his back
I bust my chains and his head, headin' down the railroad track
Had to change my identity
Started hangin' around some dudes with company
I got married, I got a job, I settled down
I dream of the day when I shoot that bad woman down
Hard livin', hot roddin', white lightnin'
Sounded off, still kinda frightenin'
My head still has a bounty
Hot summer in Barefoot County
