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 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
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

And just like Butch and Sundance
We'll ride until the dawn
Sipping whiskey, singing cowboy songs 
On the right side of wrong
