paroles de chanson Back up Against the Wall - Atlanta Rhythm Section

I was dealin' up and down the highway

Till they caught me with a heavy load

They sentenced me to hard labor
Workin' on the side of the road

Now I don't deny I was guilty
And I know I broke the law
I was hungry and broke and couldn't see no hope
And my back was up against the wall

Now I'm right outside your window
Honey open up and let me in

I broke out of jail this mornin'
And I ain't never goin' back again

I just had to stop by for a minute
And I can't stay long at all
'
Cause I gotta run you see I'm under the gun
And my back is up against the wall

I was shackled to a three-time loser

A man named Jefferson
One night we got to talkin'
And I asked him what he'd done
He said a man fell over my razor

In the middle of a barroom brawl
But don't you see it was him or me
And my back was up against the wall

Now I'm right outside your window
Honey open up and let me in

I broke out of jail this mornin'
And I ain't never goin' back again

I just had to stop by for a minute

And I can't stay long at all
'Cause I gotta run you see I'm under the gun
And my back is up against the wall

Now I'm right outside your window

Honey open up and let me in
I broke out of jail this mornin'
And I ain't never goin' back again

I just had to stop by for a minute
And I can't stay long at all

'Cause I gotta run you see I'm under the gun

And my back is up against the wall
I gotta run you see I'm under the gun
And my back is up against the wall

Yeah I gotta run you see I'm under the gun

And my back is up against the wall
