High Noon In Killville

Bruce and Ed and I walked into Old Pappy's Foodmart

Bruce and Ed were brothers and they were not very smart

But I needed some men fast to help me with this one big score

Then I'd never have to rob another grocery store

Fill the bag with money I said to the cashier

Fill the bag with money honey and we'll get out of here

But somebody tripped the alarm and then all Hell broke loose

The bag boy he pulled out a gun and blew a hole through Bruce

Ed caught the bag boy in the chest with both barrels from his twelve

The bag boy flew back twenty feet into the produce shelf

That was for my brother Ed shouted through his tears

Now we faced the electric chair instead of 15 years

I grabbed that bag of money and I headed for the door

I didn't wanna die in some stinking grocery store

But the parking lot was already crawlin' thick with cops

That what you get when you rob a store 'round the corner from the donut shop

Sheriff Big Dick Turner he was runnin' the whole show

He said throw your guns down come on out boys let them people go

You boys don't stand a chance your little heist has failed

But I knew Big Dick Turner and we'd never reach his jail

Ed looked up through the window just to see what was going on

A bullet pierced his forehead and the back of Ed's head was gone

The cashiers they were screaming Ed's brains were everywhere

It seemed Big Dick was right there was no gettin' out of there

A car pulled up some folks got out it was my mom and dad

My daddy yelled out kid you're the worst son I ever had

You're really in it this time you're really in it deep

I hope they blow your brains out you good for nothing creep

Sheriff Big Dick Turner yelled get 'em out of here

And I sent the cashier to the stock room to bring me back some beer

The family plan had failed plan B was coming soon

I was starring in my very own Dog Day Afternoon

Then they brought a woman out my true love Madeline

She left me seven months before and I hadn't seen her since

She left me for the bouncer at the bowling alley bar

She left him two weeks later for some guy who sold used cars

She said Franky please come out of there you're in an awful jam

Franky please come out of there and we can start again

While you're away in prison I will wait faithfully

Franky I do love you please come on out for me

Well I knew that she was lying 'cause she never told the truth

I knew that I would get the chair they'd never let me loose

But for my true love Madeline I threw my gun out on the ground

I hollered Big Dick Turner I'm coming out please don't cut me down

Well they didn't give me death they gave me 60 years

So I think it's safe to say that I'll be dying in here

And Madeline and Big Dick Turner they're the hottest thing in town

I was a love sick fool when I had the chance

I should've shot them down.
