Independent Thief Lyrics


Gimme a bet and I'll take it
I've twenty bucks says I'm gonna make it
I've got twenty two fifty in the bank
And I'd bet it all away given the chanceI'm the independent thief
And no one's got a number on me
Everybody's talking while you save this crowd
They water down the drinks and the band plays too loudWell I don't want nothing from you
But all I need is just some companyYou're always standing there holding out for more
When I'm the reason you're always shown the door
'Cause I'm this city's sweet holy thunder
I'm the gold of the drug you've been underI'm the good teacher that got away
Button down sweaters and black rimmed frames
I'm your get out of jail free for a year
I'm the warden of your heart but I don't keep you nearI don't want nothing from you
Well all I need is just some companyI don't want nothing from you
Well all I need is just some company

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
