So Long, Sally Johnson - Kane's River

I was born on the right side, 
Big house and a picket fence
How I got to the left side never seemed 
To make much sense
I had a strong foundation, 
Lord knows mama tried
I was born on a black night 
With the devil by my side
So long Sally Johnson, I think of you today
You know I tried to do you right 
But the devil got in my way

I let out at 15 in a burned out Cadillac
Left a trail of wreckage 
And I never once looked back
Now I'm a wanted criminal 
But you'll never see my face
I linger in the shadows 
And I'm gone without a trace
So long Sally Johnson, I think of you today
You know I tried to do you right 
But the devil got in my way

I met a little girl in Reno and 
I asked her to be my bride
We walked the aisle together 
With the devil by my side
All that night the wind blew, 
In the morning she was gone
So long Sally Johnson, I know 
I done you wrong

I was born on the right side 
But you'd never know today
My clothes are worn and ragged, 
My hair is turning gray
When darkness falls upon me 
You won't see me around
But I'll think of you forever 
When I'm six feet in the ground
So long Sally Johnson, I think of you today
You know I tried to do you right 
But the devil got in my way

Oh the devil, the devil got in my way
So long Sally Johnson, I think of you today
