Somebody better call Racehorse Haynes
[VERSE]
[Am]I didn’t kill nobody, I never [Am7]seen her [Am]before
A[Am] man of my means, A [Am7]Chinese [Am]whore
I[Am] got a lawyer in Houston, with the [Am7]juice and the [Am]brains
[Am]Let the big horse run [Am7]Racehorse [Am]Haynes
[CHORUS]
Somebody better call Racehorse Haynes
Somebody better call Racehorse Haynes
[VERSE]
He's a thoroughbred lawyer, he ain't no hack
He's a Man 'O War on any of your fairground tracks
He can run on the grass, on the mud when it rains
'Ya put your money on Racehorse Haynes
[CHORUS]
Somebody better call Racehorse Haynes
Somebody better call Racehorse Haynes
[BRIDGE]
[F]Down here in Texas you see money [C]still talks
You [E]murder your wife, you're [Am]still gonna walk
Your [F]blacks and Chicanos, whoa a[C]in't it a shame
You're [E]goin' up to Huntsville if you [E7]can't afford him
[CHORUS]
Somebody better call Racehorse Haynes
Somebody better call Racehorse Haynes
[VERSE]
Show me the phone, lend the dime
I ain't rollin over, ain't doin' no time
Ain't coppin' no plea, I'm hip to your game
I ain't talkin' to no one 'cept Racehorse Haynes
