I always live by the, golden ruleWhatever happens, ha, don't blow your cool!You gotta have nerves of steelAnd never show folks how you, honestly feelI lived all my life this way, hahFor example, take yesterdayI breeze home happy bringin' her my payHer note read, so long savvy, I haven't gone away!An' I threw myself down across our empty bedAn' this is what I saidOh shit Oh Oh OhWhat? Oh what are you gonna do with me?Oh wow uhBut I was cool!So I "one for the roaded" at a all night barI wound up so loaded, I tore up my carThe judge threw the book at me,An' when I read, the sentence there, I saidSongtexteOw! Please ow ow, please I got to know, I got to knowWhat? what went wrong?I don't underst' I oh a,But I was cool!So I said she's the only one, that I have to payAnd I found her an' pulled my gun, an' fired point blankThe shot whistled right past that woman's headAn' I killed my hound dog, dead!Ow, ruff ruff, r' r' r' r' r' r'As they carried me awayI was overheard to say,"Be cool, be cool, stay cool, be cool!"
