A friend of a friend needs a favor
No questions asked, thereŽs not much more to say
Me and the wife, we need the money
WeŽve got four kids all hungry, one on the way
Slip these sweat socks in your shirt and pray they think your packinŽ
Be sure to keep your head down, donŽt look Žem in the eye
And donŽt get fancy, Ricky, we ainŽt Jimmy Cagney
Look at me, letŽs do the job and letŽs get home tonight
[Chorus:]
I got a half tank of gas and if we run all the lights
WeŽll slip across the border on the wrong side of right
And just like Butch and Sundance weŽll ride until the dawn
Sipping whiskey, singing cowboy songs
On the Right Side of Wrong
We picked a helluva of a night, from the shore I see the skyline
In a couple of hours from now Rick, weŽre gonna get out of this life
WeŽll stop for smokes, I brought a six pack, weŽll stop at lookers on the way back
Hell, weŽll laugh this off, keep your fingers crossed that all goes well tonight
[Chorus:]
I got a half tank of gas and if we run all the lights
WeŽll slip across the border on the wrong side of right
And just like Butch and Sundance weŽll ride until the dawn
Sipping whiskey, singing cowboy songs
On the Right Side of Wrong
WeŽll make the grade, theyŽll know our names, I need a friend to drive here
Wear my necklace of St. Christopher and talk to him while I go inside
IŽll take that suitcase, get the cash and weŽll be gone before you know
Wait until we tell the girls weŽre moving down to the Gulf of Mexico...
[Guitar Solo]
A friend of a friend needed a favor
Life was just what happened while we were busy making plans
We never saw nothing, there was a run-in
.9 millimeter steel was coming for the windshield of that Oldsmobile
As the cop said, "Show your hands!"
[Chorus:]
I got a half tank of gas and if we run all the lights
WeŽll slip across the border on the wrong side of right
And just like Butch and Sundance weŽll ride until the dawn
Sipping whiskey, singing cowboy songs
On the Right Side of Wrong
