B E
I met a pretty girl the next town over

B F# B
So I asked this little lady what was wrong
B E
She said, "All my life I've tried to be an outlaw
B F#
I've tried to spit and chew and steal and rob
B
But I ain't no good at thieven'
E
So I might as well be leaven
B F# B
I think I'm off and go get a job"
B E
I told the pretty girl, "Don't be so foolish
B F#
Don't be so quick to leave a life of crime

See I'll be quick to call it

You can practice on my wallet
B F# B
And that way if you're caught you won't do time"
