Intro: E Am G A G D
AmI'm sittin' in Knoxville Gcourthouse Dain't got a thing to Ado
I Amdon't wanna go to the Gmovies Dcouldn't if I wanted Ato cuz I'm on Gtrial Dfor lovin' you
ANow this all started in a Ghonky tonk Djust the other side of Atown
AA girl come in took a Gstool by me ordered Dgin and drank it Adown
AShe lit up a Gcigarette Dsexly turned Amaround
AmWell she said my name is GJannie and Dasked me what was Ammine
AmI answered Hank as I Gwalked to the jukebox Ddroppin' a Adime
AChecked out her Gshort dress Dlow neck Aline
AWell we danced for five or ten Gminutes and I Dheld her close to Ame
AKissed her lips and Gsqueezed her hips and Djudged about twenty Amthree
WhispereGd in my ears DI said yes sirAmee
Now the scene is a little Gmotel outD on the state highAway
There in roomG 12 little loveD is about to take Amplace
And a state troGoper breaks down the door Dshines a flasAmh light in my Aface
B7I said what the hell is Athis and Eanother man and woman come B7in
And the girl I'm with starts Acryin' and screamin' and Eshe runs over to B7them
Said thank AGod you're here Ehe tried to hurt me B7mama
I said now Ayou don't mean the Ecop says son the girl is B7seventeen
So that's why I'm in Knoxville Acourthouse and the Ejudge passed sentence on B7me
And it's ten long years for Astatutory rape in the Estate penitentiaryB7
Lord I can't belAieveE this is happened to B7me
So when next time you give a Agirl the eye she Egives you that certain B7smile
Just remember under that Awoman's breast may beat the Eheart of a B7child
Don't you let Ayourself be the one Eto help a mixed up B7kids go wild
This story hapApened a lot that's true
But you Ebetter hope and pray it never hapB7pens to you
