Pierce Pettis - My Life of Crime lyrics

I have been an outlaw All my grownup life Just ask my former in-laws Just ask my former wife Living from a suitcase Standing in the rain You can keep the house, baby I will keep the change And there have been some changes I will testify Still it's just another chapter in my life of crime In my life of crime I have held some people up I have robbed the stage With my trusty six-string I have made them pay They smile and give me money They smile and give me praise I make out like a bandit Then I steal away To a lonely hideout That no one can find Making plans for my next caper In my life of crime In my life of crime I chose this life As much as it chose me I know I'm an outlaw But there is honor among thieves I have seen my posters Hanging on the wall I have stayed just out of reach Of the long arm of the law Of the law of averages Of the law of fate I know my days are numbered The law must be obeyed And though I stay two steps ahead He's just two steps behind Making sure I never rest in my life of crime In my life of crime
