Muhlenberg County Line

Casey ran off with Bobby on the day she turned 18

Her mama was left in tears and her daddy in a rage

He set out to bring her home with a Smith and Wesson on his side

And all hell was about to break loose

on the Mulenberg county line

Bobby Haskins was a loner just like his daddy was

They were known for risky business, it was deep down in their blood

If you wanted it they had it if it was pills or weed or shine

And the Haskins ran their game

on the Mulenberg county line

Bobby may have been an outlaw, but he was sharp as a razor too

And he swore that he’d have Casey if it was the last thing that he’d do

And Casey loved Bobby and ignored all those warning signs

Till her daddy came calling

on the Mulenberg county line

Everyone knew it’s best to leave Carter Haskins place alone

But her dad was pushing way past the point of no return

Bobby seen those headlights coming and Carter grabbed his 45

Then headed out his front door

on the Mulenberg county line

I’m only here to get my daughter Casey heard her daddy say

Carter told him that it’s up to her should she choose to want to stay

Then Bobby came around the corner with a rusty Randall knife

And bullets started flying

on the Mulenberg county line

Bobby took a round to his side and fell face down in the gravel

Casey’s dad took cover as all his windows shattered

Then Casey came out running when she heard Bobby cry

As Bobby’s dad took a bullet

on the Mulenberg county line

When Bobby saw his daddy he crawled back to check on him

He picked up his daddy’s pistol and he loaded it again

Then he stood and held the gun up with Casey at his side

And he pulled that trigger one last time

on the Mulenberg county line

Casey’s daddy went silent as his gun fell from his hand

And Casey looked at Bobby as he struggled just to stand

As their fathers lay there dying one shot between the eyes

Blood pouring to the ground

on the Mulenberg county line

Casey ran to her daddy and picked up his smoking gun

Then she pointed it at Bobby, there was nowhere he could run

Then a shot rang out and Bobby fell dead at his daddy’s side

Then Casey took one last life

on the Mulenberg county line

People still talk about it like they knew just what went down

And they say there are blood stains that’s never soaked into the ground

It’s a story and a warning that stands the test of time

There’s people you don’t want to cross

on the Mulenberg county line

There’s people you don’t want to cross

on the Mulenberg county line
