^G We were all down at Margie's bar
^G Telling stories if we had one
^G Someone fired the old jukebox up
^G The song sure was a sad one
^G A teardrop rolled down Bubba's nose
^G >From the pain the song was inflicting
^G And all at once he jumped to his feet
^G Just like somebody kicked him
CHORUS:

^G Went to his truck and got a fo ^D rty f ^C ive

^G# Bubba ain't never been accused of being mentality stable
^G# So we did not draw an easy breathe
^G# until he laid that colt on the table
^G# He hung his head till the cops showed up
^G# They dragged him right out of Margie's
^G# Told him "Don't play dumb with us, son"
^G# "Know damn well what the charge is."

^A Well, the sheriff arrived with his bathrobe on
^A The confrontation was a tense one
^A Shook his head said, "Bubba Boy,"
^A "You was always a dense one."
^A Reckless discharge of a gun
^A That's what the officers are claiming
^A Bubba hollered, "Reckless! Hell!"
" ^A I shot just where I was aiming."
