Desperate Man - David Allan Coe

Gimme all your money

The thief said with a grin

The gun started shaking

In his trembling hand

I don’t wanna hurt no one

But I gotta make a stand

You don’t know, the kind of shape I’m in

Oh, I’m a Desperate Man.

Honey please don’t leave me

I’m beggin' you he said

You’re all I got to live for

I might as well be dead

Do I have to end my life

To make you understand

You don’t know, the kind of shape I’m in

Oh, I’m a Desperate Man.

Jesus please forgive me

I cried out in the night

I know you can help me

You can make it right

I don’t wanna hurt no one

But I know you’ll understand

You don’t know, the kind of shape I’m in

Oh, I’m a Desperate Man.

Everynight I sing my songs

Playin' with my band

Sometimes they listen

I hope they understand

I don’t wanna hurt no one

I’m just tryin' to make a stand

You don’t know, the kind of shape I’m in

Oh, I’m a Desperate Man.

You don’t know, the kind of shape I’m in

Oh, I’m a Desperate Man

You don’t know, the kind of shape I’m in

Oh, I’m a Desperate Man.
