Intro Well I was hauling logs ten years ago The news was out on the radio That a shot was fired the night before And a local man lay dead on the floor And the dust was flying in the lumberyard Lights were flashing on two black cars I said, sheriff I ain't done nothing wrong (hold) He just knocked me down and put the handcuffs on I was framed, they took me away Like I was the only one to blame Framed, guilty they said Railroaded me on a one way train Framed, and on judgement day They want me to hang my head in shame But I was framed, and that's all I'll say Now don't be running down my name I was framed Barbara Jo cried through the glass At the murder trial I seen her last I loved that woman but now she's free She turned away when they sentenced me And the guilty man ain't never told Ten years later they put me on the road And I'll always say that I got screwed (hold) I'm a brand new man with the same attitude I was framed, they took me away Like I was the only one to blame Framed, guilty they said Railroaded me on a one way train Framed, and on judgement day They want me to hang my head in shame But I was framed, and that's all I'll say Now don't be running down my name I was framed Now the guilty man paid long ago He's the same man who got laid low When he took my wife he was hell bound (hold) Even if I did gun him down I was framed, they took me away Like I was the only one to blame Framed, guilty they said Railroaded me on a one way train Framed, and on judgement day They want me to hang my head in shame But I was framed, and that's all I'll say Now don't be running down my name I was framed I was framed
