Well I'm kinda in a pinch, need to make a quick bail,
but it ain't nothin new, I'm getting pretty damn used to bad luck.
I guess I was tired of being broke that's why I did what I've done,
just a desperate man with a mind like a loaded gun.
Old man Jones he lives around the next damn,
growing up we heard the tales of all the cash he kept in,
since his wife passed away, well his mind is fadin' fast,
so he won't even notice when I rob him of his cash.
The line starts to fade,
between what's wrong and right,
like in wack day turn to drain,
disappear into the night.
Please tell my sweet dear mother,
didn't meant to cause her shame,
tell daddy I didn't mean to disgrace the family name,
but it's just that desperate people,
do desperate things.
The screen door rattled and the old steps creak,
my heart's a pounding heavy and the knees are getting weak,
I stumbled through the dark when I heard a voice call,
Dont you take another step or this hammers gonna fall
Well I don't know why I ran guess the feelings from a gut,
I? before I felt the? cut,
now my heart's beating weaker and the air is growing thin,
I said a little prayer and drew my last breath in.
The line starts to fade,

Please tell my sweet dear mother,

Yeah, it's just that desperate people,
they do desperate things.
