Right Side Of
A friend of a friend
needs a favor
No questions asked,
there's not much more to say
Me and the wife,
we need the 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 the 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 it
Wait until we tell the girls we're moving down
to the Gulf of Mexico
Guitar Solo
A friend of a friend
needed a favor
Life was just what happened
while we were busy making plans
We never saw nothing,
there was a run-in
.9 millimeter steel was coming
for the windshield of that Oldsmobile
As the cop 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
Let's ride until the dawn
Here's to whiskey,
Here's to singing cowboy songs
On the Right Side of Wrong
