So when the preacher comes to get me And they shave off all my hair Could you take that long walk with me Knowing hell is waitin' there Could you pull that switch yourself sir With a sure and steady hand Could you still tell youself That you're better than I am My name is Billy Austin I'm twenty-nine years old I was born in Oklahoma Quarter Cherokee I'm told Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Justice in Ontario, A Little Bit In Love, Annie, Is Tonight The Night, Breakdown Lane, Cadillac, Continental Trailways Blues, Cry Myself To Sleep, If You Need A Fool, My Baby Worships Me, Nothin But You, Open Up Your Door, Squeeze Me In, The Crush, Six Days On The Road, The Rain Came Down, Nothing But a Child, Once You Love, Snake Oil, Waiting on You, Its All up to You, No. 29, Dead Flowers, Shes About A Mover, The Other Kind, All Of My Life, Another Town, Everyones In Love With You, Halo Round The Moon, I Can Wait, I Dont Want To Lose You Yet, Lonlier Than This, Over Yonder (Jonathans Song), Steves Last Ramble, The Boy Who Never Cried, The Galway Girl, Transcendental Blues, Until The Day I Die, When I Fall, Ashes to Ashes, Conspiracy Theory, Go Amanda, I Remember You, Jerusalem, John Walkers Blues, Shadowland, The Kind, The Truth, Breed, Creepy Jackalope Eye, Ellis Unit One, Other Earle Steve song Lyrics Angel Is The Devil Lyrics Angry Young Man Lyrics Ben McCulloch Lyrics By The Rivers Of Babylon Lyrics Christmas In Washington Lyrics Copperhead Road Lyrics Dixieland Lyrics Ellis Unit One Lyrics Fearless Heart Lyrics Ft.
