Bloodknot

I stole a car and I drove it too far
And they busted me down in Missouri
My trail had a judge but no jury
They put me away, hey, hey

They put me away for a year and a day
In the juvenile hall down at Bloodknot
And I learned it all down at Bloodknot
They put me away, hey, hey

Drunken old man with a stick in his hand
Tried to teach me the rules down at Bloodknot
And I played the fool down at Bloodknot
And counted the days, hey, hey

I'm makin' the grade, yes, I'm learning my trade
How to rob and to lie and to swindle
My chances continue to dwindle
Get worse everyday, hey, hey

I stole a car and I drove it too far
And I don't have a hope for tomorrow
I'm aimin' to beg, steal and borrow
They taught me the way, hey, hey

They taught me the way for a year and a day
At the juvenile hall down at Bloodknot
And I learned it all down at Bloodknot
They put me away, hey, hey
