	作词 : Earle
	Everyone in nacadoches knew tom ames would come to some bad end
	Well the sheriff had cought him stealin' chickens and such
	By the time that he was ten
	And one day his daddy took a ten dollar bill
	And he tucked it in his hand
	He said i can tell you're headed for trouble son
	And your momma wouldn't understand
	So he took that money and his brothers old bay
	And he left without a word of thanks
	Fell in with a crowd in some border town
	And took to robbin' banks
	Outside the law your luck will run out fast
	And a few years came and went
	'till he's trapped in an alley in abilene
	With all but four shells spent
	And he realized prayin' was the only thing
	That he hadn't ever tried
	Well he wasn't sure he knew quite how
	But he looked up to the sky
	Said you don't owe me nothin' and as far as i know
	Lord don't owe nothin' to you
	And i ain't askin' for a miracle lord
	Just a little bit of luck will do
	And you know i ain't never prayed before
	But it always seemed to me
	If prayin' is the same as beggin' lord
	I don't take no charity
	Yeah but right now lord with my back to the wall
	Can't help but recall
	How they nearly hung me for stealin' a horse
	In fort smith arkansas
	Judge parker said guilty and the gavel came down
	Just like a cannon shot
	And i went away quietly
	And i began to file and plot
	Well they sent the preacher down to my cell
	He said the lord is your only hope
	He's the only friend that you gonna have
	When you hit the end of parker's rope
	Well i guess he coulda' kept on preachin' 'till christmas
	But he turned his back on me
	I put a home made blade to that golden throat
	And asked the deputy for the key
	Well it ain't the first close call i ever had
	I'm sure you already know
	I had some help from you lord and the devil himself
	It's been strictly touch and go
	Yeah but who in the hell am i talkin' to
	There ain't no one here but me
	Then he cocked both his pistols and he spit in the dirt
	And he walked out in the street
