Music TK when I can get to my friend's house to record
In the woods outside of Soulsbyville
The rain was falling down
The rumor that someone got killed
Was startin’ to go ’round
As they passed the whiskey bottle
In the station parking lot
Some good ol’ boys done got to talking
'Bout who got shot
Somebody fooled around and found out
He done got schooled and now he’s down and out
Somebody fooled around and found out
Heard they found a leg a-floatin’ by
A bush on Curtis Creek
Some kids was fishin’ from a boat
And one of them hooked a knee
When he reeled it in it weren’t no trout
’Twas a cut-off leg instead
Them kids was screamin’, freakin’ out
Oh, no, somebody’s dead
Somebody fooled around and found out
He done got schooled and now he’s down and out
Somebody fooled around and found out
So they called the sheriff’s deputies to come and check it out
The black-and-whites rolled up in force t' see what was goin’ down
The sheriff said they found the rest of him inside the mouth
Of a big ol’ grizzly bear that was grinnin’ like a clown
Well, the I.D. found next to the bear
Said he was a flatlander
A speed dealer from Stockton where
That counts as decent work
But them mountain folks don’t cotton to
That kind of city game
If you mess around in those parts you
Could end up just the same
Somebody fooled around and found out
He done got schooled and now he’s down and out
Somebody fooled around and found out

Yep, fooled around and found out. Stockton street working stiff fed to the bears maybe or just an unfortunate incident.
