Lynyrd Skynyrd Jake Lyrics

Jake Lyrics

The boy gets crazy when he's sittin' at the bar

Don't you mess with Jake don't you push him to far

Rot gut whiskey and home made wine

Make a good country boy just lose his mind



Like a run away train rollin' through the night

The boy ain't got no fear

Like a race car hittin' the wall he gets hard to steer

Waitin' for the smoke to clear



OOOOHH

Betty got caught in the back of Bobby's car

Bobby got caught with his hand in the cookie jar

Her daddy blew a fuse and he went for his gun

EEEEE

Now Bobby and Betty thier on the run



Like a run away train rollin' through the nite

Nothin's gonna stop them now

Gotta keep on movin', coverin' tracks somehow



Like a run away train rollin' through the night

The kids ain't got no fear

Daddy's (wizz?) bang is the last sound Bobby's gonna hear

ooohhh

Waitin for the smoke to clear



Daddy finally caught him in the end of his gun

Put a dead end to all of Bobby's fun

OOhh

Good God almighty, Oh heaven sakes

Betty's Daddy turned out to be Jake



Like a run away train rollin' through the nite

Jake ain't got no fear



Know the hangman judge gonna give the boy 99 years

Here sits Jake at the back of this bar

Sippin' on a nice cold beer



If the law had a clue all they'd do is look right here

When they see Jake..... waitin' for the smoke to clear



Waitin for...OOOOHHHAAA
