When a friend needs a favor
No questions asked, there's not much more to sayMe and the wife need money
We've got four kids all hungry, one on the way
Slip these sweat socks in your shirt and pray they think your packin'
Be sure to keep your head down don't look 'em in eye
And don't get fancy, Ricky, we ain't Jimmy Cagney
Look at me, let's do the job and let's get home tonightI got a half tank of gas and if we run all the lights
We'll slip across the border on the wrong side of right
And just like Butch and Sundance we'll ride until the dawn
Sipping whiskey, singing cowboy songs
On the right side of wrongWe picked a helluva of a night, from the shore I see the skyline
In a couple of hours from now Rick, we're gonna get out of this life
We'll stop for smokes, I brought a six pack
We'll stop at lookers on the way back
Hell, we'll laugh this off, keep your fingers crossed
That all goes well tonightI got a half tank of gas and if we run all the lights
We'll slip across the border on the wrong side of right
And just like Butch and Sundance we'll ride until the dawn
Sipping whiskey, singing cowboy songs
On the right side of wrongWe'll make the grade, they'll know our names
I need a friend to drive here
Wear my necklace of St. Christopher and talk to him while I go inside
I'll take that suitcase, get the cash
And we'll be gone before you know
Wait until we tell the girls we're moving down to the Gulf of MexicoWhen 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
Nine millimeter steel was coming, for the windshield of that Oldsmobile
As the cops said, "Show your hands"I got a half tank of gas and if we run all the lights
We'll slip across the border on the wrong side of right
Yeah, just like Butch and Sundance we'll ride until the dawn
Here's to whiskey, here's to singing cowboy songs
On the right side of wrong
(Mmm, mmm)
