Track/Chapter 6 of 10:

lyrics

Uh - huh ...

Old Joe Boudreau had a still on the hill
With the 'G'men and 'T'men just sniffing around
When a couple kids went blind
And another couple died
They knew they had to find him quick and take the man down

Take him down - take the man down
Take him down - that's the only way they do it
When Old Joe missed the curve
'Cause his brakes just wouldn't work
They knew they'd finally found a way to take the man down

Take the man down ... Uh - huh

Tony was the king of the sex and drug type thing
Get high all day on China White and play with his gun
When he shot himself a cop
After shooting up the town
They knew they had to find him quick and take the man down

Take him down - take the man down
Take him down - that's the only way they do it
When a girl he used to beat
Cooked him up his final treat
They knew they'd finally found a way to take the man down

Take the man down ... uh - huh

If you step out of song you're dead, right or wrong
You'll cover up your tracks and keep an ear to the ground
When the morning finds you shot down
Like a dog out in the street
You'll know they finally found a way to take the man down

Take him down - take the man down
Take him down - that's the only way they do it
You'll cover up your tracks and keep an ear to the ground
In the end they're gonna find a way to take the man

When the morning finds you fenced up like a mongrel in the pound
You'll know they finally found a way to take the man down.

Meet The Blacks Wetaskiwin, Alberta

Yes, it's raw. Yes, it's Country. And yeah, it kicks. And carnage on the dance floor. This is working class country. You'll have to roll up your sleeves for this one ...
Two sets of brothers, all first cousins, and a high-school friend of group leader Jett Black comprise this outlaw gang. Stealing hearts and stages.
