|
It happened in an open field |
|
Down in a southern state |
|
And no one knows the reason why |
|
Some would say it's hate |
|
They shot the guy who sold the dogs |
|
It came as some surprise |
|
And to a lady standing there |
|
Brought sadness to her eyes |
|
She's a rock and roll widow living in this town |
|
Another rock and roll widow since they gunned him down |
|
The heat of day still hung around |
|
As night began to fall |
|
The sheriff came up from the town |
|
In answer to the call |
|
The band played on in darkness |
|
Not knowing what to do |
|
As people ran from side to side |
|
Just looking for a clue |
