Five And Dimes And Petty Crimes Lyrics by Gregg Alexander

Michigan Rain

0

I walked down to the five and dime
To commit myself a petty crime
As the checkout girl started to flirt
I ran up the street with a stolen shirt
So she chased me seven blocks all the way, hey hey hey
And said "lets go out to lunch, I never liked that job anyway"
At the high-class restaurant she needed a thrill
So we ran out without payin' the bill
That day we robbed so many banks
We even told the tellers "thanks!"
Then she said, "I'm a good Catholic, how 'bout you?"
I said, "if you're good, what do the bad ones do?"
Then we got in a fight over God and the nations, God and the nations
And she drove me straight to the police station
Cops, busted, ¿Cómo está usted?
She told the sergeant that she had been kidnapped by me
Those cops had me trapped
So I went to my cell and I fell asleep
While she fell in love with the sergeant, deep
And I got twenty years for the petty crimes
And she walked with my shirt back to the five and dime
