Rural Scandal

(verse 1)

the sheriff and the judge

sat in the courthouse one midnight

talking about how the judge had

cancer of the bone

and it's giving him quite a fright

the sheriff tells the judge don't worry

the judge replies that he's sorry

but he won't be able to run

next year for his seat in the county

the sheriff starts to sweat

the two of them have run this town since they first met

and now it's falling into ruin

(chorus)

"well ain't that some shit" he says in his mind

they managed to ruin everything and have a marvelous time

but now he's got to leave it behind

because the election's been rigged since it was his daddy's time

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

that means no more money

the judge said "it'll be fine trust me"

but the sheriff had trust issues to begin with

and it turns out he was right

he must look like a real sight

he's looking at everyone like they know

the strongest man in this place

hell's the next place he's going to go

(chorus)

"well ain't that some shit" he says in his mind

they managed to ruin everything and have a marvelous time

but now he's got to leave it behind

because the election's been rigged since it was his daddy's time

"well ain't that some shit" he says in his mind

they managed to ruin everything and have a marvelous time

but now he's got to leave it behind

because the election's been rigged since it was his daddy's time

(end chorus)

(bridge)

his mama can't look him in the face

there's a spot in the floor where he would pace

something like this will surely make the six o'clock news

in an orange jumpsuit he'll be singing prison yard blues

but not him, not him

(chorus)

"well ain't that some shit" he says in his mind

they managed to ruin everything and have a marvelous time

but now he's got to leave it behind

because the election's been rigged since it was his daddy's time

"well ain't that some shit" he says in his mind

they managed to ruin everything and have a marvelous time

but now he's got to leave it behind

because the election's been rigged since it was his daddy's time

(end chorus)
