Racehorse Haynes
By Tom Russell
(Chorus)
Somebody better call Racehorse Haynes
Somebody better call Racehorse Haynes
(Verse)
I didnât kill nobody, I never seen her before
A man of my means, A Chinese
I got a lawyer in Houston, with the juice and the brains
Let the big horse run Racehorse 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)
Down here in Texas you see money still talks
You murder your wife, you re still gonna walk
Your blacks and Chicanos, whoa ain t it a shame
You re goin up to Huntsville if you 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
(Chorus)
Somebody better call Racehorse Haynes
Somebody better call Racehorse Haynes
