My friend Nikki went through a bad custody battle last year. After a late night phone conversation, I worried she was gonna do something really crazy. So I wrote this tune.
Lyrics
They took my babe away from me They took my babe away from me Crooked judge and no jury They took my babe away from me I paid my lawyers salary They took my babe away from me And it's a long hard road Till I get her back Yes it's a long hard road till she's back in my arms oh she's back in my arms, Ohhhhhhhh. They've given me no other choice. They won't even listen to my voice If they don't meet my demands, I swear to God I'll take the law into my own hands And it's a long hard road Till I get her back Yes it's a long hard road till she's back in my arms oh she's back in my arms, Ohhhhhhhh. I'll take my babe and run so far away Roll over anyone that gets in my way They'll never catch me if I run, I got a real fast car and I got a gun, So get down on your kneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees! And bring my baby back to me!
