Friend of a friend needed a favor

no questions asked, not much more to say

me and the wife, needed money

we got four kids all hungry, one on the way

slip these sweatsocks in your shirt

and pray they think you're 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 lets 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

sippin' whiskey, singin' cowboy songs

on the right side of wrong



We picked a helluva night

from the shore I see the skyline

in a couple hours from now we're gonna get out of this life

stop for smokes I brought a six pack

stop for lookers on the way back

hell we'll laugh this off keep our fingers crossed it 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 wrongs side of right

and just like Butch and Sundance

we'll ride until the dawn

here's to whiskey, here's to singin' cowboy songs

on the right side of wrong



We'll make the break they'll know our names

I need a friend to drive here

wear my necklace of Saint Christopher

I talk to him when I go inside

Grab the suitcase, get the cash and we'll be gone before ya know it

Wait until we tell the girls we're movin' down to the Gulf of Mexico



Friend of a friend needed a favor

Life was just what happened

we were busy makin' plans

Never saw nothin' that was a runnin'

nine millimeter still was comin'
