rate me(bobby russell)<br><br>He was on his way home from candletop<br>Been two weeks gone and he thought he'd stop<br>At web's and have him a drink for he went home to her<br>Andy wo-lo said hello<br>He said hi what's a doing<br>Wo said sit down I got some bad news that's gonna hurt<br>Said I'm your best friend and you know that's right<br>But your young bride ain't home tonight<br>Since you been gone she's been seeing that amos boy seth<br>He got mad and he saw red<br>Andy said boy don't you lose your head<br>Cause to tell you the truth I've been with her myself<br><br>Chorus:<br>That's the night the lights went out in georgia<br>That's the night that they hung an innocent man<br>Don't trust your soul to no back woods southern lawyer<br>Cause the judge in the town's got bloodstains on his hand<br><br>Andy got scared and left the bar<br>Walking on home cause he didn't live far you see<br>Andy didn't have many friends and he just lost him one<br>Brother thought his wife must've left town<br>So he went home and finally found the only thing<br>Daddy had left him and that was a gun<br>He went off to andy's house<br>Slipping through the back woods quiet as a mouse<br>Came upon some tracks too small for andy to make<br>He looked through the screen at the back porch door<br>He saw andy lying on the floor<br>In a puddle of blood and he started to shake<br><br>The georgia patrol was making their rounds<br>So he fired a shot just to flag em down<br>And a big bellied sheriff grabbed his gun and said<br>Why'd you do it? <br><br>The judge said guilty in a make believe trial<br>Slapped the sherrif on the back with a smile and said<br>Suppers waiting at home and I got to get to it<br><br>Chorus<br><br>They hung my brother before I could say<br>The tracks he saw while on his way<br>To andy's house and back that night were mine<br>And his cheatin wife had never left town<br>And that's one body that'll be found<br>You see little sister don't miss when she aims her gun<br><br>Repeat chorus twice
