I met her at a walmart

She was tryin' to find a spare part

And i thought i could help find it

She said she just moved into town

With a smile that turned into a frown

And she grabbed my hand and held on too tight



Knoxville girl



She said she was a kentucky girl

Who wanted to see more of the world

And there was desperation in her eyes

I asked if i could drive her home

Cause her car broke down she was all alone

But she said she didn't have a place to stay









Knoxville girl



She moved in with me

And we were both so happy

Until the day i happened upon the news



That told of the knoxville murder armed robbery



She needed me for cover

So she acted like my lover

But i knew she'd soon be through with me

I confronted her with the facts

The smile on her face, well it fell like an axe

And that's when the bullets began to fly



Knoxville girl
