Right Side of Wrong
Right Side of Wrong
Friend
of a friend needs a favor
No
questions asked, there's not much more to say
Me
and the wife need money
We've
got four kids all hungry, one on the way
Slip
these sweat socks in your shirt
And
pray they think your packin'
Be
sure to keep your head down don't look 'em in eye
And
don't get fancy, Ricky, we ain't Jimmy Cagney
Look
at me, let's do the job and let's get home tonight
I
got a half tank of gas and if we run all the lights
We'll
slip across the border on the wrong side of right
And
just like Butch and Sundance we'll ride until the dawn
Sipping
whiskey, singing cowboy songs
On
the right side of wrong
We
picked a helluva of a night, from the shore I see the skyline
In
a couple of hours from now Rick, we're gonna get out of this life
We'll
stop for smokes, I brought a six pack
We'll
stop at lookers on the way back
Hell,
we'll laugh this off, keep your fingers crossed
That
all goes well tonight
I
got a half tank of gas and if we run all the lights
We'll
slip across the border on the wrong side of right
And
just like Butch and Sundance we'll ride until the dawn
Sipping
whiskey, singing cowboy songs
On
the right side of wrong
We'll
make the grade, they'll know our names
I
need a friend to drive here
Wear
my necklace of St. Christopher and talk to him while I go inside
I'll
take that suitcase, get the cash
And
we'll be gone before you know
Wait
until we tell the girls we're moving down to the Gulf of Mexico
When
friend of friend needed a favor
Life
was just what happened while we were busy making plans
We
never saw nothing, there was a run-in
Nine
millimeter steel was coming, for the windshield of that Oldsmobile
As
the cops said, "Show your hands"
I
got a half tank of gas and if we run all the lights
We'll
slip across the border on the wrong side of right
Yeah,
just like Butch and Sundance we'll ride until the dawn
Here's
to whiskey, here's to singing cowboy songs
On
the right side of wrong
