My car goes Chicago
Every weekend to pick up some cargo.
I think I know the bloody way by now, Frankie,
And turn the god damn radio down, thank you.
Pull over, count the money
But don't count the thirty in the glove box buddy,
That's for to buy Lucille some clothes.
Bang bang bang went Frankie's gun
He shot me down Lucille,
Bang bang bang went Frankie's gun
He shot me down Lucille,
He shot me down,
He shot me down,
He shot me down.

Work zones double fines,
Don't pass the double lines,
Trailer McDonald's rest stop trailer double wide.
I saw a man hit my mom one time, really,
I hurt him so damn bad I had to hide in Jersey
Called my mama told her in the dresser,
There's ten or twenty dollars but there ain't no lesser,
That's for to take my sister to the picture show.
Bang bang bang went Frankie's gun.
Bang bang bang went Frankie's gun
He shot me down Lucille,
Bang bang bang went Frankie's gun
He shot me down Lucille,
He shot me down,
He shot me down,
He shot me down.

Slip make a fender shine,
Frankie you're a friend of mine,
Got me off a bender after long legged Brenda died,
I thought we might be on a roll this time Frankie.
I could have swore the box said Hollywood blanks but
You see my mama please tell her
I left a little rock in a box in the cellar,
That's for to wear till kingdom come.
Bang bang bang went Frankie's gun
He shot me down Lucille,
Bang bang bang went Frankie's gun
He shot me down Lucille,
He shot me down,
He shot me down,
He shot me down.
