I`ve Got Something to Say — текст песни (David Alan Coe)

By David Allan Coe

Dedication: This song is for Jimmy Carter who wants women to be drafted and I agree. I think they ought to draft women too, at least some women, but not my daughters, or my mother or any of the women I know unless maybe my mother-in-law...

I`VE GOT SOMETHING TO SAY, BOYS

I`VE GOT SOMETHING TO SAY

JUST AS SOON AS I CAN FIND A WAY, BOYS

I`VE GOT SOMETHING TO SAY.



I WAS STANDING IN A ALLY ONE DARK LONELY NIGHT

THERE WERE THREE OR FOUR SHOTGUNS WANTING TO FIGHT

NOW ME AND THE DEVIL WE WERE SEEING THE LIGHT

LOOKING FOR SOMEPLACE TO RUN



AND I SAID I`VE GOT SOMETHING TO SAY BOYS

I`VE GOT SOMETHING TO SAY

JUST AS SOON AS I CAN FIND A WAY BOYS

I`VE GOT SOMETHING TO SAY



I CAUGHT WITH A COUPLE OF FRIENDS

I WAS JUST SLIPPING OUT, THEY WAS JUST SLIPPING IN

I WAS TOO HURT TO LAUGH, I WAS TO SICK TO GRIN

WATCHING THE WOMAN I LOVE



THE COP AT THE GATE SWORE I WAS INSANE

CAUSE ME AND MY PISTOL TRIED BOARDING A PLANE

NOW WE WERE BOTH LOADED AND ITS HARD TO EXPLAIN

HOW WED EVER GOTTEN THAT FAR



I WAS THE FIRST ONE TO GET THE LAST LAUGH

WHEN THEY SAID MY SON WAS TO OLD FOR THE DRAFT

THAT`S WHEN THE GOVERNMENT GAVE ME THE SHAFT

DRAFTED MY DAUGHTER INSTEAD!
