  • You can't blend in down in San Jacinto
    With long blond hair and an orange El Camino
    Two things I never thought I'd need to get by
    A .38 Special and an alibi

    Oh, wicked is as wicked does
    And if this ain't wicked
    Well it's close enough

    I thought I was good
    And maybe I was
    But wicked is as wicked does

    There's a Thunderhead forming in the rearview mirror
    Every time I check, it's a little bit nearer
    Whatever I get, I guess I've earned
    But I never heard anyone who didn't deserve it

    Oh, wicked is as wicked does
    And if this ain't wicked
    Well it's close enough

    I thought I was good
    And maybe I was
    But wicked is as wicked does

    Something had to happen
    Something had to be done
    And it turns out I'm pretty good with a gun

    It doesn't make it right
    But it is what it is
    And any mama in the world would've done what I did

    Hey, wicked is as wicked does
    And if this ain't wicked
    Well it's close enough

    I thought I was good
    And maybe I was
    But wicked is as wicked does

    I thought I was good
    And maybe I was
    But wicked is as wicked does

    You can't blend in down in San Jacinto

  • Countryboy94Omg, I listened to this song and for a song that was co-written by Lee Ann, she sounds like badass singing this and it's quite of a cute sexy song by Lee Ann Womack.
