TITLE "BACK DOWN LENNY"
ARTIST "SANOMA"

LENNY DROPPED  SCHOOL,COULDN'T FIND A JOB.
SPENT MOST OF HIS TIME CASEIN' PLACES TO ROB.
ALL OF HIS BIG DREAMS,THE WHISKEY WOULD BOLSTER.
HE GOT HIM A PISTOL AND A COOL SHOULDER HOLSTER.
HE HAD A PICKUP,BLACK WITH FLAMES ON THE SIDE,
NOT MUCH OF A RUNNER BUT A NICE LOOKIN RIDE.

(CHOROUS)
BACK DOWN LENNY YOU GOTTA GIVE UP.
YOU'LL NEVER GET AWAY IN THAT PICKUP TRUCK.
THERE'S ONLY SOME THINGS IN LIFE YOU CAN CHOOSE.
IT'S SIXES LENNY EITHER WAY YOU LOSE.

HE PLANTED SOME SEEDS WAY BACK IN THE HOLLER,
SOLD THE DRY LEAVES TO MAKE HIM A DOLLAR.
SMOKED PART OF HIS PROFFITS TO GET FELLIN'RIGHT
STOPPED OFF AT A DRUGSTORE TO GET HIM A PINT.
THE CLERK AT THE COUNTER STARTED PITCHIN A FIT,
LENNY DREW THE PISTOL AND THAT ENDED IT.

(CHOROUS)

LENNY DROVE TO MARY'S IN THE DARK OF THE NIGHT,
SAID COME ON HONEY LET'S GO FOR A RIDE.
HER DADDY STEPPED IN SAID LENNY YOU BETTER ROLL,
THERE'S WHISKEY ON YOUR BREATH,AND I WON'T LET HER GO.

(CHOROUS)

HE HEARD THE SIRENS,SAW RED LIGHTS A FLASHIN',
AND HEADED THAT TRUCK UP TO DEEP CANYON MOUNTAIN.
STEEP GRANITE ON THE LEFT SIDE,NOWHERE TO HIDE,
A  DROP ON THE OTHER LENNY STARTED TO SLIDE.
HE KNEW HE HAD CHOICES AND HE MADE ONE THAT NIGHT.
HE STEPPED DOWN IN THE GAS AND CUT HER HARD TO THE RIGHT...........

CHOROUS
