Down on my check
eat on my bet
Cool and the gang play on the radio
Back on the block
Picking the locks
And I'm hitching a ride out of this no good town
Late on my rent
And my money's all spent
And I'm running away where no one can find me
And I wonder what they'd say now
If we got lucky babe
And I'd wonder what they'd say now
If we went all the way
Playing the cards and losing too hard
And I'm lying awake
And what have I got to show for it all?
I'm late on my rent
My money is all spent
And I'm hitching a ride out of this no good town
And I wonder what they'd say now
If we got lucky babe
And I'd wonder what they'd say now
If we went all the way...
