Heaven Hell Or Macon

Curly Putman - Bucky Jones

© Tree Pub, BMI

He just turned twenty-one this was his first job
He had a cold steel revolver a liquor store to rob
He said gimme your money Mister please don't hesitate
If you try to be a hero it'll be your last mistake
You got a lot of reasons to live and I'm just down to one
California beat me and almost took my mind
This pistol bought me distance but I'm a running out of time

My mama's up in heaven yes daddy's down in hell
Sister she's gone crazy brother's back in jail
My woman waits in Macon Lord I wanna hold her tight
And heaven hell or Macon I'm gonna see one of them tonight
[ instrumental ]
If I could see my mama she'd tell me what to do
I'm goin' against my raisin' I'm holdin' this gun on you
When a man is down he can't get up just one way to turn
I'm walkin' on the tight rope a hangin' by a thread
Bad times all around me worse times up ahead

My mama's up in heaven yes daddy's down in hell...
