Lyrics
?MASON COUNTY ROAD?
Timothy Lee Horlacher
Copyright 1991
Billy worked at a truck stop, in the city not long ago
He fell in love with a two timing girl, they say he didn?t know
He caught her out one starlit night, with another man headed home
And he took their lives, in anger, on the Mason County Road
Now he spends his time in prison, with a bible by his side
And they say that any given night you can hear the young man cry
Please, forgive me Lord for the sins I?ve done
Don?t let the Devil take my soul
And forgive me Lord, for the lives I took, on the Mason County Road
Billy tried to run that night, but they caught him, the next day
The car he had, ran out of gas, in a town, not far away
They took the young man to jail that day, and the story, he then told
Then they charged him with, the crimes he done, on the Mason County Road
Now he spends his time in prison, with a Bible by his side
And they say that any given night you can hear the young man cry
Please, forgive me Lord for the sins I?ve done
Don?t let the Devil take my soul
And forgive me Lord, for the lives I took, on the Mason County Road
Now he spends his time in prison, with a Bible by his side
And they say that any given night you can hear the young man cry
Please, forgive me Lord for the sins I?ve done
Don?t let the Devil take my soul
And forgive me Lord, for the lives I took, on the Mason County Road
?Please forgive me Lord, for the lives I took,
On the Mason County Road
