about

This song is based on a true story.

lyrics

She never had a chance they never saw it coming

He covered their heads with paper sacks

while the children slept and then he left...

One blow to the head and the wife....
and her parents lay dead


The children played alone in the trailer that day

hoping it would all just fade away


He got away with murder
He got away with murder

He got away with murder
He got away with murder



In the hot afternoon sun

a neighbor made the run

She swept them up and grabbed a gun

and tried to call someone

They put it in the news

but couldn't find the clues

They took him to court and didn't see it coming


He hired the man and stared us down

He picked up his kids and then split town


He got away with murder
He got away with murder

He got away with murder
He got away with murder



The end ain't no good

because it doesn't end


He got away with murder
He got away with murder

He got away with murder
He got away with murder



He put down the remote and took a boat

or hopped a plane to new terrain


He got away with murder
He got away with murder
He got away with murder
He got away with murder

He got away....
