Everybody Thinks They’re The One To Get Away Lyrics by Blue Jay Walker

2024

[Verse 1]
I knew a preacher with a tight neck tie
Shaking his fist at the folks going by saying
“Don't you know you're heading the wrong way?”
Wonder what they do if the people all knew
When he get home, he don't take off his shoes
He's heading for the cat house
The very same day
[Verse 2]
I knew a killer with a shark tooth grin
You look twice he’ll do you in
But he ain't worried
Mama taught him how to pray
He’d take a coin, throw it in the well
He’d burn a wick, cast him a spell
And all the blood on his hands just wash away
[Chorus]
Cause everybody, everybody, everybody thinks they're the one to get away
Everybody, everybody, oh, everybody thinks they're the one to get away
[Verse 3]
I knew a man with a firm handshake
His name on the doors, his name on the plates
You only live in this town cause he lets you stay
But he's your friend, and he's mine too
And he gon’ do what he say gonna do
It's a shame every promise that he made, was a fake
[Verse 4]
But I know time and I know luck
And I can feel both of them creeping up
Tallies getting mighty tall as some might say
There's a straw gonna, break the back
There’s a day we gonna face the facts
That ain't nobody, really gettin’ away
[Chorus]
Cause everybody, everybody, oh everybody thinks they're the one to get away
Everybody, everybody, yeah everybody thinks they're the one to get away
[Verse 5]
(One, two, one two three four)
Hey, there's a devil, there's a devil in the hen house
Hey, there's a man with an axe in his hand and
Oh, there's a lover in my bed
[Verse 6]
Hey, there's a lover, there's a lover in the hen house
Hey, there's a devil with an axe in his hand and
Oh, there's a man in my bed
[Verse 7]
Hey, there's a man, there's a man in the hen house
Hey, there's a lover with an axe in her hand and
Oh, there's a devil in my bed
[Outro]
'Cause, I knew a preacher with a shark tooth grin
I knew a killer with a firm handshake
And I knew a man who, I knew a man who
I knew a man who thought, he’d get away
