lyrics

The call came in from out of state
it said Ol' Jimmy Brown's been talking shit
and he wasn't scared of us boys from Dallas
no he wasn't scared and he didn't intend to pay up
It's calls like this on days like this that
turn my stomach, oh they turn my stomach
reminds me what it takes
to keep this business running
reminds me what it takes
to keep your head and keep your fingers
I called the boys and we loaded up
somberly I started the truck
wondering why these kids wanna fuck with us
why these kids think they're so tough
tell them you wanna live like a gambler does
you better be ready for the bookie's thugs

They all follow me around....
I've got their gold teeth and pocket watches
pictures of their sons and daughters
high school rings and business cards
in a cigar box buried in my yard, next to my money and my dog

Caught Ol' Jimmy Brown downtown
with a high yella hooker, she sure was a looker
she was looking just like we was
trying to get Jimmy to pay what was hers
he was broke, half a handle of Jack
we just knocked him out and put him in the back

When my son gets old enough
we're gonna take that box and we'll open it up
show what happens to those who don't pay up
show him why Daddy always drank to much
tell him not to do as I have done
cause you can't fight those ghosts with your gun

They all follow me around....
I've got their gold teeth and pocket watches
pictures of their sons and daughters
high school rings and business cards
in a cigar box buried in my yard, next to my money and my dog

And I will sleep tonight, I will sleep tonight,
I will sleep tonight, I will sleep tonight,
I will sleep tonight, I will sleep tonight,
I will sleep tonight, I will sleep tonight.
