Jessi Colter - You Can Pick 'em lyrics

rate me

You took the wrong road, baby

I tried to tell you all along

You took the wrong road, baby

I tried to tell you all along

We've hit the dead end, baby

Now, there's no road at all

You can pick 'em, baby

You can pick 'em, baby

You can pick 'em, baby

But you know it's against the law

There was the one from Memphis

There was that one from West LA

But the one from New Orleans

She tried to put you in your grave

There was the one from Texas

Lord, she made you squirm

But the one from Arizona

Left you no soul at all

You can pick 'em, baby

You can pick 'em, baby

You can pick 'em, baby

But you know it's against the law

There's a rope hangin', baby

I'd like to slide you down

There's a rope hangin', baby

I'd like to slide you down

(I'd like to slide you down, baby)

Let's have a party, baby

Let's see who comes around
