lyrics

Well, Willie Lee he hit him, hit em right between the eyes
Shook this whole small town and the barber was deputized
Now, I can't believe that anyone made it out of there alive
All because he got shorted by the big man on site

He's a bad man
He's a bad man
He's a bad man
Don't go a round with him

Now, Haywood he got busted drivin' away
With a tank half full of gas for which he forgot to pay
Now, he didn't put up a struggle, he knew he'd made a mistake
And from his busted empty bill-fold fines he would pay and pay
and that's ok. Cause...

He's a bad man
He's a bad man
He's a bad man
Ain't got no time for him

Now, everybody's lookin, lookin with their eyes closed
As little Jeanie walks around in big girl clothes
Well, she likes the attention, and she's not scared to get close
And she really likes the dreams she has in a bed of light-bulbs

She's a bad man
She's a bad man
Don't even close
She's a bad man

I hear the mayor's got boys cookin, got em cookin in the hills
Just some money on the side, he likes to have his pills
Just some campaign signs and stickers,comin fresh from the mills
But the people only know his name, not how he pays their bills

But he's a good man
He's a good man
Shake his hand
He's a good man
Shake his hand
He's a good man
Shake his hand
Shake his hand
Shake his hand
