Hot House - Ryan Bingham

Well, I’m in the hot house breakin' stones, y’all

I’ll tell you, I’ve been around now

I got a story I’ll tell you, sit down a while

22 years old, set my stride

Out on that hardened up road, was my life

I was bound

Late night in the hen house, met this girl

My Cadillac was full of gold, her name was May Pearl

And she turned me on

She had another man unbeknownst to me

Met me at the back door, he had a switchblade up his sleeve

Startin' trouble, y’all

Well, unbeknownst to him was May Pearl

She filled his head with six rounds of lead

Laid his tired ass on the floor

Now I’m on the run, y’all

Well, well

I’m in the hot house breakin' stones, y’all

New Orleans, 'bout a year ago

Five-O run a dice game, got me slippin' out the window

Down the alley I run, hound dog on my trail

Now I’m sittin' in the hot house, that bitch won’t post my bail

Well, well

I’m in the hot house breakin' stones, y’all
