You're an Accomplice
My two good buddies came over last night
And said "Hey Billy Bob, let's go paint the town red!"
So I hopped in my truck and we cruised down the road
And then ole Zach said, "Let's stop for some drinks!"
So they pulled into the Quickie Stop and ran right in
And much to my surprise, I witnessed a strange scene
They had guns and wore dark ski masks
I heard Zach yelling "Stick 'em up and give me the cash!"
I was shocked in my boots as I looked on
Bobbi Sue and Zach just robbed that little place
I froze in my seat, I was stunned and appalled
They ran back to the truck and yelled "Go man, go!"
I didn't think, just did what I was told
I peeled rubber like there was no tomorrow
I sped down the road, I was in a daze
Zach and Bobbi Sue were having a great time
We drove on for miles and they thanked me and such
They even gave me a few hundred bucks
"Dude, you better not tell or you know what we'll do to you."
So I kept my mouth shut and went on with my life
As days went by it was all on the news
Three dumb kids, fugitives on the run
So I knew I was screwed you know what they say
If you keep your mouth shut you're guilty too
When you don't speak out and you keep the status quo
You know you are guilty and this is what they'll call you
You're an accomplice, yeah, yeah, yeah
You're an accomplice
You didn't say squat!
You're an accomplice, yeah, yeah, yeah
You're an accomplice
You're just as guilty too!
You're an accomplice, yeah, yeah, yeah
You're an accomplice
You went right along!
You're an accomplice, yeah, yeah, yeah
You're an accomplice
You're going to the big house too!
You're an accomplice, yeah, yeah, yeah
You're an accomplice, yeah, yeah, yeah
You're an accomplice, yeah, yeah, yeah
You're an accomplice
You're an accomplice
You're an accomplice
You're an accomplice
