Boyd and Candace I am a backdoor man On the front line A hard luck soldier I write prisoner's wives From Western Union company
I am a dungeon keeper If the weather allows it A hue and cry calls from under Tethered to a teletype desk I am a victim of my pride Boyd and Candace hear my plea
I am chained to a job If I love my wife My son grows seven If I scaremonger in Plymouth To call politicians fake Boyd and Candace let me pull a gun
The judges reprimand me With their eyes of steel I escape my own anger By praying that God grant Me my death by a cocked revolver Boyd and Candace pull a roll of tens on my bill of death
