lyrics

First one's free
words and music Lynne Hanson & Al Wood

Cadillac glides down Dixon Road
Past a man on his knees begging for his soul
Snake oil cure what he’s been sold
Mississippi string tie old school bling
Close your eyes won’t feel a thing
Cue ball cracks as the blade slips in

CHORUS
Tom Cat dance
on the old tin roof
Whiskey burns
hundred 60 proof
Sharp dressed man
in prison blue
First one's free
don't mind if I do

CHORUS

Mutton-chop sideburns alligator shoes
Shark skin suit and cheap tattoos
Table full of rounders (got those) five card blues
Deal from the bottom caught in the act
Jack goes wild drags him out back
House always wins it’s a natural fact

CHORUS

Long brown hair rhinestone suit
Diamond cap and a golden tooth
Blood and rose covered cowboy boots
Peanut Charlie catch him if you can
Swears up and down he didn't kill that man
Fingers crossed on his bible hand
