Now, here's a little story I got to tell about three bad brothers you know so well
It started way back in history [Ab] with that Rob C.A. and me
Been [A] had a little hokey named Paul Reveal
Just me and my hokey and a quart of beer
Ridin' cross the land, kickin' up sand
Sheriff [Db] watches on my tail cause [D] I'm in demand
[A] One lonely B.C.I.P.
All by myself without nobody
The sun is beatin' down on my [Ab] baseball hat
The [Db] air is gettin' hot, [B] the beer is gettin' fat
[A] Lookin' for a girl, I ran into a guy
His name is M.C..A., I said howdy, he said hi [Gb] [B] [Ab] [A]
[Gb]
He told a little [Ab] story that sounded well rehearsed Four days on the run and that he's dying of thirst The brew is in my hand and [Gb] he was on my tip His [Db] voice was hoarse, his throat was dry, he [A] asked me for a sip He's thinkin' I get some, I said you can't get none Had a chance to run, I pulled out a shotgun Quick on the draw, I thought I'd be dead He put the gun to my head and this is what he said Now my name is M.C..A., I got a license to kill I think you know what time it is, it's time to get ill Now what do we have here? [Ab] Ain't no oil in this beer I run this land, you run this land, I made myself clear We stepped into the wind, he had a gun and had a grin You think the story's over but it's ready to begin [Gb] [A]
[N]
I [Ab] got the gun, you got the brew You got two choices of what you can do It's not a tough decision as you can see I can [Db] blow you away and you can ride with [Am] me I said I'd ride with you if you can get me to [Ab] the border The sheriff's after me for what I did to his daughter I did it like this, [F] I did it like that I [D] did it with a wiffle ball bat, [A] so I'm on the run The cop got my gun and right about now it's time to have some fun The king had rock, [Ab] that is my name And I [Db] know the fly spot where they [F] got the champagne [A] We rode for six hours then we hit the spot The beat was a-bumpin' and the girlies was hot This dude was staring like he knows who we are We took the empty spot next to him at the bar M.C.A. said, yo, you know this kid? I said I did but [Gb] I know he did The kid said, get ready cause this ain't funny My name's Mike D and I'm about to get [A] money Pulled off the jammy, aimed it at the sky He yelled, take [N] him out and let two fly Hands went up and people hit the floor He wasted two kids that ran for the door I'm Mike D and I get respect Your cash and your jewelry is what I expect M [A].C.A. was with it and he's my age So I grabbed a piano player and I punched him in the face Piano player's out, the music stopped This boy had teeth and he got dropped Mike D grabbed the money, M.C.A. snatched the gold I grabbed two girlies and a beer that's cold I grabbed a [Abm] beer and I grabbed a beer I [Ab] grabbed a beer [Ab] and I grabbed a beer I grabbed a [A] beer and I grabbed a [N] beer [A]
