Walking down that road from Jonesboro
And I'm the meanest S.O.B. that you'll ever know
South bound traffic, 'can't I just hitch a ride?”
'Yeah! I'm headed that way, boy! Jump inside!”

All the things you say about all the things you do
It's about time to put you down, I swear I'll see it through

'Get in or I'll confess your sins with this gun
That I'm holding to the back of your head!”
I said, 'You best just drive on to Jonesboro!
‘Cause I'm the meanest son of a bitch you'll ever know!”

No matter what you think
Nothing you've heard is true
It's a bad joke and you're the clown
They're laughing right at you

'Get in or I'll confess your sins with this gun
That I'm holding to the back of your head!”
I said, 'You best just drive on to Jonesboro!
‘Cause I'm the meanest son of a bitch you'll ever know!”
