Ain’t nobody got a hold on me I said ooh oh oh o oh oh oh Well I won’t be swinging from your hanging tree I said ooh oh oh o oh oh oh Been running like a dog for all of my life And I guess I’ll always be Playing my cards in the dark of night But ain’t nobody got a hold on me I said ooh oh oh o oh oh oh
Well I miss that woman with the lips so sweet I said ooh oh oh o oh oh oh But there ain’t no forgiving what she’d done to me I said ooh oh oh o oh oh oh Caught her in the arms of another man Just a liar and a goddamn cheat Ain’t nothin’ like a gun in a jealous hand But ain’t nobody make a fool of me
I said ooh oh oh o oh oh oh I said ooh oh oh o oh oh oh
Oooh, hear it coming Well they’re never gonna let me be Oooh, won’t stop running ‘Cause there ain’t nobody got a hold on me Ooh oh oh o oh oh oh
When the yellow moon’s got her eyes on me I said hmm-mmm-mmm As I’m dragging my boots to the dead old tree I said hmm-mmm-mmm Mississippi river, delta sun Pushing through the fog and the heat I’ll be washed in the water when the morning comes And ain’t nobody got a hold on me Ooh oh oh o oh oh oh
I said ooh oh oh o oh oh oh
Oooh, hear it coming Well they’re never gonna let me be Oooh, won’t stop running ‘Cause there ain’t nobody got a hold on me
Oooh, hear it coming Well they’re never gonna let me be Oooh, won’t stop running ‘Cause there ain’t nobody got a hold on me
