Lyrics
***My Last Heist***
Just fell down to sleep
I was runnin' for my life
Robbed the local bank
Was gonna be my last heist
Slammed the alarm clock down
Caught a few extra winks
Sheriff & his deputies won't
Give me much time to think
So I laced up my boots & loaded my guns & shot out the back door!
Racing down this dirt rock road
Haulin this heavy load
Got the law on my tail
Hear those sirens wail
Through the swamp I drive
Just tryin' to stay alive
But those hound dogs got the scent of my gold
My last Fort Knox before I get old
I'll be damned if those cuffs snap tight
Fill them with holes in a gunfight
They got me cornered gotta hide my head
If I peek out they'll fill it with lead
Don't wanna tombstone throne
Don't wanna die out here alone
I fire a few rounds in the air
Let em' know, I just don't care
15 to 1 the odds are bad
Truck is running hot so I take off from there
Bullets blazing by my left ear, the road ahead disappears!
Off the cliff I go
And with this heavy load
Waiving goodbye to this life
See you in the afterlife
I crash into the rocks below
Catch fire, & then explode!
