Bank Robber

Greg MacPherson


My daddy was a bank robber
Never hurt no body
He just loved to live that way
And he love to steal your money

Some is rich 
And some is poor
And that's the way the world is
But I don't believe in lying back
And saying how bad our luck is.

So we came
To jazz it up
Never loved a shovel
Break your back to earn your pay 
And don't forget to grovel.

My daddy was a bank robber
He never hurt no body
He just loved to live that way
And he love to steal your money

The old man spoke up
In a bar
And said I've never been in prison 
But a lifetime time on one machine 
Is 10 times worse then prison.

Imagine if all 
The boys in jail 
Could get out now together, 
Whadda think they'd wanna say to us 
While we were being clever

Hey, strike out boys
To the hills
I can't find me the hole in the wall 
I know nothing ever will

Some day I'll meet your rocking chair 
Cause that's where you spinning 
There no point to want to comb your hair 
When is grey and thinning 

So we came to jazz it up
Never loved a shovel
Break your back to earn your pay
And don't forget grovel

Daddy was a bank robber
He never hurt nobody
He just loved to live that way
And he loved to steal your money

Hey run rabbit run
To the hills
I can't find me the hole in the wall
I know nothing ever will
