Let me tell a story 'bout the way it goes There was never time to get it right Even if they find me with my .45 They won't take me down with out a fight, it's all right
It's true, everything they say I did And now there's no way out It's true, that's my picture on the news That's how this shit goes down
Every time I wake up in the morning I make my getaway through alleyways Ready for the takedown, cops are closing in Let me lie beside you one more night, it's all right
One more time Lost my angel to a life of crime I'm in danger of my own design There's no time to spare when I'm with you That's all I can do
The bank guard was not my fault
Let me tell a story 'bout the way it goes There was never time to get it right Even if they find me lying in your arms They won't take me down with out a fight, it's all right
