Armed And Crazy

(álbum: Armed And Crazy - 1978)

Well it's 4 AM and the police man
Said son you can't sleep in the depot
I'd get coffee but I'm broke though I roll me a smoke
And ease out among the morning people

Step up to the newsstand talking to the paper man
Talking to the old street sweeper
When the neon nights show their face
All over the early morning paper

It said wanted for robbing a grocery store
Disguised as a little old lady
He's a bad piece of vermin
It's your money he's after
Consider him armed and crazy

Well I put me in a trash can waiting for the trash man
To haul me out of the city
He said you gotta understand that I'm just a garbage man
Nobody every showed me no pity

He said you're wanted for robbing a grocery store
Disguised as a little old lady
You're a bad pistol packer
It's your money he's after
Consider him armed and crazy

Well I know it's too late to make my escape
When I hear the police coming
He pulled a .45 and stuck it right between my eyes
Said don't you do nothing

He said you're wanted for robbing a grocery store
