Lyrics
LIFE OF CRIME- D TUNING
Am G Am Am G Am
ROBBED A BANK OUT IN JASPER ARKANSAS
SHOULD HAVE KNOW’D WE’D NEVER GET AWAY
CAUGHT UP WITH US SOUTH OF LITTLE MARBLE FALLS
BROKE DOWN IN LUCKY’S CHEVROLET
LUCKY BROUGHT ALONG HIS TRUSTY FORTY FIVE
SAID THAT IT WAS ONLY JUST IN CASE
BARELY MADE IT OUT OF THERE HALF ALIVE
AND LUCKY WASN’T LUCKY HE GOT SHOT IN THE FACE
F C G Am
NOW I’M LOOKIN’ AT SERIOUS TIME
I’M PAYIN’ FOR THIS LIFE OF CRIME
STARTED DOIN’ TEXACOS AT SEVENTEEN
ONLY MADE ENOUGH FOR WINE AND WEED
MARRIED ON THE RUN TO A HIGH SCHOOL QUEEN
ONLY LONG ENOUGH TO PLANT THE SEED
NOW I’M LOOKIN’ AT SERIOUS TIME
I’M PAYIN’ FOR THIS LIFE OF CRIME
F C G F C G F C G Am
MMMMMMMMMMMMM
WARDEN SAYS IT SEEMS THAT LUCKY WILL PULL THROUGH
BUT THERE’S A HOLLOW SPACE WHERE HIS LEFT SHOULD HAVE BEEN
LOOKS LIKE HE’LL BE COMIN’ HERE AND JOININ’ YOU
I’LL SEND HIM DOWN TO SEE YOU AS SOON AS HE GETS IN
NOW I’M
LOOKIN’ AT SERIOUS TIME
YEAH I’M
PAYIN’ FOR THIS LIFE OF CRIME
F C G F C G F C G Am
MMMMMMMMMMMMM
