Lyrics

I was out
Driving just a
Taking it slow
Looked at my
Tank it was
Reading low
Pulled in a
Exxon station
Out on highway
One
Held up without
A gun, held up
Without a gun

Some damn fool
With a guitar
Walkin' down
The street
Ain't got
Nowhere to go
Ain't got
Nothing to eat
Man with a cigar says
"Sign here son"
Held up without
A gun, held up
Without a gun

Now it's a sin
And it oughta
Be a crime
You know it
Happens buddy
All the time
Try to make a
Living, try to
Have a little
Fun
Held up without
A gun, held up
