Honey, take care of the children.
Make them do as they're told.
I got a meeting in the morning
down at the end of the Goode's Field Road.
Nothing much for a man in my position.
A man like me won't last too long in prison.
And all them friends down at Police Department
will act like they never had anything to do with me.
I started out down at the junkyard,
taking orders from a moron.
And a man my size don't like taking orders from anyone.
I bought myself an old beat up wrecker.
and built an empire with my labor, brains, and sweat.
But it's hard to make an honest living,
and a man takes any help he gets.
Nothing much for a man in my position.
A second mortgage and three college kids' tuition.
And all them friends that I helped along the way
will act like they never had anything to do with me.
will act like they never had anything to do with me.
But you and me, we had us some good times.
And I've always been a family man deep down.
Ain't much a believer for hired work from out of state,
but they'll be asking questions when I'm found.
They'll be asking questions when I'm found.
Honey, take care of the children.
Pay the house off when the salvage yard gets sold.
And you don't know nothing when the insurance men ask questions
'bout what went down at the Goode's Field Road.
'bout what went down,
'bout what went down,
'bout what went down at the Goode's Field Road.
