The Night the Lights Went Out In...

(Verse1 SimpleSly)

There was a man came home from Candletop

He was gone for two weeks and he just makes a stop

At a downtown bar to drink some whiskey and rum

To go home to his chick because was on the run

Meanwhile, a guy named Andy came to him

As he said what's up as his face was grim

Because he had some bad news and it's about this girl

And what he didn't know that was gonna hurt

He's like you're my homie and that's the truth

I'm not a snitch and I wouldn't make you choose

But I heard that your girl went with a man named Seth

And that's when his face just turned beet red

He said calm down man don't lose your head

Acting like big and bad and end up dead

It's like playing a deadly game of chess

And to tell you the truth I've been with her myself

 

(Reba McEntire Chorus)

That's the night when the lights went out in Georgia

That's the night they hung an innocent man

Don't trust your soul to no backwoods Southern lawyer

Cause the judge in this town has bloodstains on his hand

 

(Verse2 lil_cruz)

You see Andy was scared cause he pissed him off

As he ran back to his house like little Rudolph

He doesn't have any friends and he just lost one

Hell, he was just only twenty-one

My Brother, on the other hand, he has other plans

He wanna end this shit just like a man

So he went into his drawer and got daddy's gun

And slip into the night for 3 hours and gone

Quit being a little bitch

I promise you I won't snitch

make sure you don't say anything they'll use anything against you

Then they will not know you be lying and you're there looking like a fool

Just do what I say

And act like everything is ok

don't do things your way

 

(Reba McEntire bridge)

Well, the Georgia Patrol was a'makin' their rounds

So he fired a shot just to flag 'em down

And a big-bellied sheriff got his gun and said "why'dya do it?

 

(lil_cruz bridge)

Then the judge said hes guilty in a bullshit trial

Slapped the sheriff in the back with a crooked smile

And said suppers is ready as an excuse

With no leads, no witness, and no clues

 

(Reba McEntire Chorus)

That's the night when the lights went out in Georgia

That's the night they hung an innocent man

Don't trust your soul to no backwoods Southern lawyer

Cause the judge in this town has bloodstains on his hand

 

(Verse3 SimpleSly)

So they hung your Brother before you can say

The tracks he found when he's on his way

To Andy's house and back, that night was not his

(lil_cruz)

That cheating bitch never did leave town

And that's one body that will never be found

Cause you see, little sister never misses when she aims her gun(So you did this?????? Shhhhhhh!)
