|
\[Gm]Did you see that lady there?
|
|
They strip\[D#]ped her to her \[D]underwear
|
|
She \[Gm]took it one step further and stripped to \[D#]bare \[D]
|
|
\[Gm]Through the rising flames and smoke
|
|
She \[D#]laughed as all the \[D]police choked
|
|
And then she \[Gm]danced in the government pyre
|
|

\[D#] The \[D]jailhouse is \[Gm]on fire

\begin{verse}
|
|
She grabbed a guard and stole his keys
|
|
Unlocked the cells and set us free
|
|
And we ran and caught our pants on the old barbed wire
|
|
Hit the dirt, we hit the road
|
|
We jumped the fence, we kissed a toad
|
|
And we hollered at the ladies in the churchyard choir
|
|
\end{verse}

|
\begin{verse}
|
|
Hopped a train and headed west
|
|
Free woman now, just like the rest
|
|
All the hobos on the line called me a liar
|
|
Train, it popped and spewed and spat
|
|
And coal smoke billowed thick and black
|
|
And she was everywhere, rising higher, she set
|
|
