Hot House Testo

Well, I'm in the hot house breakin' stones, y'all
I'll tell you, I've been around now
I got a story I'll tell you, sit down a while

22 years old, set my stride
Out on that hardened up road, was my life
I was bound

Late night in the hen house, met this girl
My Cadillac was full of gold, her name was May Pearl And she turned me on

She had another man unbeknownst to me
Met me at the back door, he had a switchblade up his sleeve
Startin' trouble, y'all

Well, unbeknownst to him was May Pearl
She filled his head with six rounds of lead
Laid his tired ass on the floor
Now I'm on the run, y'all

Well, well
I'm in the hot house breakin' stones, y'all

New Orleans, 'bout a year ago
Five-O run a dice game, got me slippin' out the window
Down the alley I run, hound dog on my trail
Now I'm sittin' in the hot house, that bitch won't post my bail

Well, well I'm in the hot house breakin' stones, y'all
