Well Im kinda in a pinch need to make a quick buck But it aint nothin new Im gettin pretty damn used to bad luck I guess I was tired of bein broke thats why I did what I done Just a desperate man with a mind like a loaded gun Well old man Jones he lives around the next bend Growin up we heard of tales of all the cash he kept in Since his wife passed away well his mind has faded fast So he wont even notice when I rob him of his cash The line starts to fade between whats wrong and right Black and white they turn to gray, disappear into the night Please tell my sweet dear mother, I never meant to cause her shame Tell Daddy I didnt mean to disgrace the family name But its just that desperate people do desperate things The screen door rattled and the old steps creek My hearts apoundin heavy and my knees are gettin weak I was stumblin through the dark when I heard a voice call Dont you take another step or this hammer is gonna fall Well I dont know why I ran, guess a feelin from a gut Well I all but made it work before I felt the lead cut Now my hearts abeatin weaker and the air is growin thin I said a little prayer as I drew my last breath in The line starts to fade between whats wrong and right Black and white they turn to gray, disappear into the night Please tell my sweet dear mother, I never meant to cause her shame Tell Daddy I didnt mean to disgrace the family name But its just that desperate people, they do desperate things Yeah its just that desperate people, they do desperate things
desperate, disgrace, growin, well, disappear
