Daddy and the Sheriff Lyrics

Two worlds collide

One of love

One of hate

I heard her screams

As Daddy's knife

Sealed her fate

I was just a boy

The night of the attack

I just kept on waitin'

Mother please come back

When they finally found her

She'd been gone three long years

We all knew he did it

But it all fell upon deaf ears

You can run and you can hide

I won't forget the night she died

My verdicts in, now it's your turn

You sealed your fate where you will burn

Daddy and the Sheriff

Alone in his house

On that Friday night

I poured the gas

And the flames

Were so bright

It was Daddy's gas can

The prints and all

And I made damn sure

That killer

He took the fall

Daddy knew the Sheriff

So all believed what they were told

And I lived with that murderer

Until I was 18 years old

The Sheriff died

His blind eye now gone

Now gone

And they cuffed my Dad

By Tuesday dawn

For killing a cop

He was sentenced

To death

And I watched that killer draw

His very last breath
