Lyrics Billy Joe Shaver – Before All Hell Breaks Loose

Time to resign from the human race
Wipe those tears from your lovely face
Baby, wave to the man in the ol’ red caboose
Before all hell breaks loose

Before you go I wish you’d come
Before you leave wish you’d love me some
I’ll give you all of the dreams you can use
Before all hell breaks loose
All right!

Now I know what the gypsy meant
When he told me I’d never be president
He said, «Adopt a Korean, kill you a moose
Before all hell breaks loose»

You poked fun at my cowboy shoes
You said they looked just like big canoes
Now it’s time for the chosen ones to choose
Before all hell breaks loose

Turn out the lights, honey, turn on the news
God save the queen and the kangaroos
And what kind of rubbers did Joseph use
Before all hell broke loose

Time to resign from the human race
Wipe those tears from your lovely face
Baby, wave to the man in the ol’ red caboose
Before all hell breaks loose
Hell on America!
