lyrics

He walks out into the moonlight, shoelaces in his hand,
asks for square from you – might
you hurry from this man?

It’s getting cold in old Milwaukee
His ride be here shortly now
Gonna roll right up to Ashley’s
Ribs beat the big house dinner and how

Five-o walks by with a big grin, wishes the man good night
Custodian empties cig bin,
doing his part to get right

It’s getting cold in old Milwaukee
His ride just a little late
Gonna get his own whip, y’all’ll see,
take her on a proper take

He’s gonna get right with the Lord,
just like the chaplain man suggested
Not looking to get rearrested,
he’s gonna get right with the Lord

County worker comes out, 10:31, sweet dreams for second shift
Last bid was a dirty one
This time out he calls a gift

It’s getting cold in old Milwaukee
His date’s gonna have to wait
By the time the first shift’s off, he’ll
find her out and set her straight

He’s gonna get right with the Lord,
just like the chaplain man suggested
Not looking to get rearrested,
he’s gonna get right with the Lord

Get right with the Lord, get right with the Lord
Get right with the Lord, get right with the Lord
