Jake When The Smoke Clears by Lynyrd Skynyrd Lyrics
[Verse]
A boy gets crazy when he's sitting at the bar
Don't you mess with Jake don't you push him too far
Rotgut whiskey and homemade wine
Make a good country boy just lose his mind
Like a runaway train rolling through the night the boy have got no fear
Like a race car hitting the wall it gets hard to steer
Waiting for the smoke to clear
Betty got caught in the back of Bobby's car
Bobby got caught with his hand in the cookie jar
Her Daddy blew a fuse and went for his gun
Now Bobby and Betty they're on the run
Like a runaway train rolling throught the night nothing's going to stop them now
Got to keep on moving cover their tracks somehow
Like a runaway train rolling through the night
The kids have got no fear
Daddy swears bang is the last sound Bobby's going to hear Oooohhh
Waiting for the smoke to clear
Daddy finally caught them and he emptied his gun
Put a dead end to all of Bobby's fun Oooohhh
Good god almighty for heaven's sakes
Betty's Daddy turned out to be Jake
Like a runaway train rolling through the night
Jake got no fear
No hangman judge going to give the boy 99 years
Here sits Jake in the back of this bar
Sipping on an ice cold beer
If the law had a clue all they'd do is look right here
They'd see Jake
Waiting for the smoke to clear .... Waiting for
Ooh
A boy gets crazy when he's sitting at the bar
Don't you mess with Jake don't you push him too far
Rotgut whiskey and homemade wine
Make a good country boy just lose his mind
Like a runaway train rolling through the night the boy have got no fear
Like a race car hitting the wall it gets hard to steer
Waiting for the smoke to clear
Betty got caught in the back of Bobby's car
Bobby got caught with his hand in the cookie jar
Her Daddy blew a fuse and went for his gun
Now Bobby and Betty they're on the run
Like a runaway train rolling throught the night nothing's going to stop them now
Got to keep on moving cover their tracks somehow
Like a runaway train rolling through the night
The kids have got no fear
Daddy swears bang is the last sound Bobby's going to hear Oooohhh
Waiting for the smoke to clear
Daddy finally caught them and he emptied his gun
Put a dead end to all of Bobby's fun Oooohhh
Good god almighty for heaven's sakes
Betty's Daddy turned out to be Jake
Like a runaway train rolling through the night
Jake got no fear
No hangman judge going to give the boy 99 years
Here sits Jake in the back of this bar
Sipping on an ice cold beer
If the law had a clue all they'd do is look right here
They'd see Jake
Waiting for the smoke to clear .... Waiting for
Ooh
