Chris Knight - Framed Lyrics
Well I was hauling logs ten years agoThe news was out on the radioThat a shot was fired the night beforeAnd a local man lay dead on the floorAnd the dust was flying in the lumberyardLights were flashing on two black carsI said, sheriff I ain't done nothing wrongHe just knocked me down and put the handcuffs onI was framed, they took me awayLike I was the only one to blameFramed, guilty they saidRailroaded me on a one way trainFramed, and on judgement dayThey want me to hang my head in shameBut I was framed, and that's all I'll sayNow don't be running down my nameI was framedBarbara Jo cried through the glassAt the murder trial I seen her lastI loved that woman but now she's freeShe turned away when they sentenced meAnd the guilty man ain't never toldTen years later they put me on the roadAnd I'll always say that I got screwedI'm a brand new man with the same attitudeI was framed, they took me awayLike I was the only one to blameFramed, guilty they saidRailroaded me on a one way trainFramed, and on judgement dayThey want me to hang my head in shameBut I was framed, and that's all I'll sayNow don't be running down my nameI was framedNow the guilty man paid long agoHe's the same man who got laid lowWhen he took my wife he was hell boundEven if I did gun him downI was framed, they took me awayLike I was the only one to blameFramed, guilty they saidRailroaded me on a one way trainFramed, and on judgement dayThey want me to hang my head in shameBut I was framed, and that's all I'll sayNow don't be running down my nameI was framedI was framed
