38 Special

Take my chances, rather go to jail
Than see the eyes of a coward runnin loose and well
He dont care, he couldnt give a damn
Deprived of his victim, hes a ruthless man
He waits in the shadows til the man is gone
He moves to the door, now shes all alone
Far as you could see, thats her only way
She fears for her life and what her family would say
(Chorus)
Back door stranger
A fair warning hes out tonight
A back door stranger
We gotta stop him if the chance is right
You read in the paper, most any day
Bout back door stranger and his evil ways
The law cant judge because he pleads insane
Its a sign of the times that we got to change
You ask my opinion, he aint half a man
Hes as cold as a snake about to strike again
Its a slap in the face that we tolerate
The pain that he causes worries us grey
(Chorus)
Take my chances, rather go to jail
Than see the eyes of a coward runnin loose and well
He dont care, he couldnt give a damn
Deprived of his victim, hes a ruthless man
You ask my opinion, got to make a stand
Hes cold as a snake, gonna strike again
Its a slap in the face that we tolerate
The pain that he causes, it worries us grey
(Chorus Twice)
