Robbers Roost Lyrics by The Killigans

One Step Ahead of Hell

0

Well I robbed that bank in Tulsa, yeah, I picked the damn place clean
I pistol whipped that guard, you shoulda heard them people scream
And when the police came, man, I shot everything in sight
I boosted that black Cadillac and drove into the night

Now the lights are on behind me and I’m standing on the gas
Heard that grass is green in Mexico
Six pack and a pistol, said I’m almost free at last
Headed for the border and they're chasing me down the county road
The county road

That Cadillac broke down in Ardmore so I pushed it in a lake
John Law caught up with mе in Dallas, man, I couldn’t get a break
After lying low in Saginaw I got thе itch to leave
But down in San Antonio the cops were there like you would not believe

Now the lights are on behind me and I’m standing on the gas
Heard that grass is green in Mexico
A six pack and a pistol says I’m almost free at last
Headed for the border and they're chasing me down the county road
The county road
The county road
The county road

Now the lights are on behind me and I’m standing on the gas
Heard that grass is green in Mexico
A six pack and a pistol say I’m almost free at last
Headed for the border and they're chasing me down the county road
The county road
The county road
