Prosecution Blues Lyrics by The Cold Stares

Heavy Shoes

2021

Gonna put you down, down, down
I'm gonna lay you softly on the cold hard ground
Gonna put you down, down, down
I'm gonna lay you softly on the cold hard ground, little girl
You know you, you lied and mistreated me
You made me a fool in my own town
I'm gonna put my, gonna put my picture in a window, yeah
And let everybody see what you've done to me
I'm gonna put my, gonna put my picture in a window, yeah
And just let everybody see what you've done to me
I've got tears in my poor eyes
And a trembling that won't let me be
I'm gonna write a, write a letter to the governor, yeah
Hope they chargе you with heartache in the first dеgree, alright
I'm gonna write a letter to the governor, baby
Hope they charge you with heartache in the first degree
And they lock you up in a jail cell
And they just throw away the key
Gonna lay you down, down, down
Gonna lay you softly on the cold hard ground
Oh, you know I'm gonna lay you down, down, down, down, down, yeah
I'm gonna lay you, gonna lay you softly on the cold hard ground, little girl
You know you, you lied and mistreated me
You made me a fool in my own home town, yes you did
