  • Well momma’s in the kitchen cooking Irish stew
    Daddy’s in the hollow and he’s cooking something too
    Daddy makes a whiskey, momma say the prayer
    I fly up and down the backroads
    It’s a family affair

    And I know the day is coming
    My luck will run its course
    Got to slow down with a woman
    Ride a faster horse
    If a bullet doesn’t find me
    They’ll let me rot in jail
    Scat cat, you’ve got gravy on your tail

    Now the old man's hard on my Momma, but he's harder on his son
    Momma always told me first chance that you get boy, cut and run
    I got whiskey in the backseat, momma it’ll be alright
    I got one more run I got to make, a little rough tonight

    And I know the day is coming
    My luck will run its course
    Got to slow down with a woman
    Ride a faster horse
    If a bullet doesn’t find me
    They’ll let me rot in jail
    Scat cat, you’ve got gravy on your tail

    Now wrong ain’t always wicked
    Law ain’t always right
    If a young man has a breaking point
    Then the lawman has a price
    I let that sheriff catch me
    I got a pistol too
    I made him an offer that he could not refuse

    We took that load of Whiskey
    We went to Little Rock
    I left him handcuffed at the airport
    Long term parking lot

    And I knew the day was coming
    My luck would run its course
    Never slowed down with a woman
    Never found a faster horse
    But a bullet didn’t find me
    I ain’t rotting in no jail
    Scat cat, you’ve got gravy on your tail
