Desperate People

Intro: (x2) verse 1 Well I'm kinda in a pinch, need to make a quick buck That ain't nothin' new, I'm gettin pretty damn used to bad luck Guess I's tired of bein' broke, that's why did what I done Just a desperate man with a mind like a loaded gun verse 2 Well old man Jones, he lives around the next bend Growin' up we heard the tales of all the cash he kept hid Since his wife passed away, well his mind is fading fast So he won't even notice when I rob him of his cash The line that starts to fade between whats wrong and right Black and white, they turn to grey, disappear into the night Please tell my sweet dear mother I never meant to cause her shame Tell Daddy I didn't mean to disgrace the family name But it's just that desperate people do desperate things Instrumental (x2) verse 3 The screen door rattled and the old steps creaked My hearts a-pounding heavy and my knees are gettin weak I was stumbling thru the dark when I heard a voice call Don't you take another step or this hammer is gonna fall verse 4 Well I don't know why I ran, guess a feeling from my gut Well I all but made the wood before I felt the lead cut Well my hearts a-beatin weaker and the air is growin thin I said a little prayer as I drew my last breath in The line that starts to fade between whats wrong and right Black and white, they turn to grey, disappear into the night Please tell my sweet dear mother I never meant to cause her shame Tell Daddy I didn't mean to disgrace the family name But it's just that desperate people do desperate things Yeah it's just that desperate people do desperate things Outro
