Right Side Of Wrong

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 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...

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 and just like Butch and Sundance let's ride until the dawn
Here's a whiskey, singing cowboy songs
On the right side of wrong
