Life, Love, Death And The Meter Man

Angry Johnny & The Killbillies

He was holding the McCulloch

When he knocked upon her door

Yesterday she said she didn't love him anymore

But it wasn't her who answered

It was some guy he didn't know

So he fired up that chain and he laid that sucker low

But when he saw the clipboard lying in the severed hand

He realized that he just limbed from limbed the meter man

Heard the sirens coming, and he sat down on the steps

Shut off his McCulloch and he lit a cigarette

The verdict, it was guilty and they said "you're gonna fry"

He didn't see her in the back row, didn't hear her cry

All that he could see was the terrified face of the meter man

The moment that he sent him packing to the promised land

They led him down the hallway, and the priest said him a prayer

He wasn't none too happy, but he knew that fair was fair

Still he'd like to thank the meter man, for coming to the door

Otherwise his true love would be lying scattered on the floor

And as for her, she never loved again, no not one time

And though she broke his heart and led him to this ghastly crime

She prayed each day they'd be together on the other side

And she cried herself to sleep each night until the day she died
