Dedication: This song is for Jimmy Carter who wants women to be drafted and I agree. I think they ought to draft women too, at least some women, but not my daughters, or my mother or any of the women I know unless maybe my mother-in-law...
I'VE GOT SOMETHING TO SAY, BOYS
I'VE GOT SOMETHING TO SAY
JUST AS SOON AS I CAN FIND A WAY, BOYS
I'VE GOT SOMETHING TO SAY.
I WAS STANDING IN A ALLY ONE DARK LONELY NIGHT
THERE WERE THREE OR FOUR SHOTGUNS WANTING TO FIGHT
NOW ME AND THE DEVIL WE WERE SEEING THE LIGHT
LOOKING FOR SOMEPLACE TO RUN
AND I SAID I'VE GOT SOMETHING TO SAY BOYS
I'VE GOT SOMETHING TO SAY
JUST AS SOON AS I CAN FIND A WAY BOYS
I'VE GOT SOMETHING TO SAY
I CAUGHT WITH A COUPLE OF FRIENDS
I WAS JUST SLIPPING OUT, THEY WAS JUST SLIPPING IN
I WAS TOO HURT TO LAUGH, I WAS TO SICK TO GRIN
WATCHING THE WOMAN I LOVE
THE COP AT THE GATE SWORE I WAS INSANE
CAUSE ME AND MY PISTOL TRIED BOARDING A PLANE
NOW WE WERE BOTH LOADED AND ITS HARD TO EXPLAIN
HOW WED EVER GOTTEN THAT FAR
I WAS THE FIRST ONE TO GET THE LAST LAUGH
WHEN THEY SAID MY SON WAS TO OLD FOR THE DRAFT
THAT'S WHEN THE GOVERNMENT GAVE ME THE s haft
DRAFTED MY DAUGHTER INSTEAD!
