Terry Allen - Ain't No Top 40 Song lyrics

Well they found her dead

Face down in a ditch

And they chased and caught

That son of a bitch

Ain't no top 40 song

They put him on trial

He killed her with a wrench

Sentenced him to die

But he didn't flinch

Ain't no top 40 song

His lawyer tried

But he'd never tell

Said he'd rather die

Go sing in Hell

Ain't no top 40 song

It's blood on the car seats

Holes in the wall

Wild horse screamin

Kickin slats from the stall

Headlights burnin

Right out of his head

When the world's on fire

And love is dead

Ain't no top 40 song

Judge said son

Now you gotta pay

For what you done

You got anything to say?

Ain't no top 40 song

Just looked at the judge

An then he smiled

Her family raged

His family cried

Ain't no top song

Said ain't nothin to me

I'm glad she's dead

An you'd be too

If you knew what she did

Ain't no top 40 song

chorus

Well they found him dead

Face down on the floor

And they chased and caught

That crazy little whore

Ain't no top 40 song

They put her on trial

She killed him with a knife

Cut out his heart

They sentenced her to life

Ain't no top 40 song

Her lawyer tried

But she'd never tell

An she never cried

Just sing in her cell

Ain't no top 40 song

It's blood on the car seats

Holes in the wall

Wild horse screamin

Kickin slats from the stall

Headlights burnin

Right out of her head

When the world's on fire

And love is dead

Ain't no top 40 song

Judge said girl

Now you gotta pay

For what you done

You got anything to say?

Ain't no top 40 song

Just looked at the Judge

An then she grinned

I done it once

An I'd do it again

Ain't no top 40 song

Ain't nothin to me

I'm glad he's dead

An you'd be too

If you knew what he did

Ain't no top 40 song

chorus
