A friend of a friend needs a favor
No questions asked, theres not much more to say

Me and the wife, we need the money
Weve got four kids all hungry, one on the way
Slip these sweat socks in your shirt and pray they think your packin
Be sure to keep your head down, dont look em in the eye
And dont get fancy, Ricky, we aint Jimmy Cagney
Look at me, lets do the job and lets get home tonight

[Chorus:]
I got a half tank of gas and if we run all the lights
Well slip across the border on the wrong side of right
And just like Butch and Sundance well ride until the dawn
Sipping whiskey, singing cowboy songs
On the Right Side of Wrong

We picked a helluva of a night, from the shore I see the skyline
In a couple of hours from now Rick, were gonna get out of this life
Well stop for smokes, I brought a six pack, well stop at lookers on the way back
Hell, well laugh this off, keep your fingers crossed that all goes well tonight

[Chorus:]
I got a half tank of gas and if we run all the lights
Well slip across the border on the wrong side of right
And just like Butch and Sundance well ride until the dawn
Sipping whiskey, singing cowboy songs
On the Right Side of Wrong

Well make the grade, theyll know our names, I need a friend to drive here
Wear my necklace of St. Christopher and talk to him while I go inside
Ill take that suitcase, get the cash and well be gone before you know
Wait until we tell the girls were moving down to the Gulf of Mexico...

[Guitar Solo]

A friend of a friend needed a favor
Life was just what happened while we were busy making plans
We never saw nothing, there was a run-in
.9 millimeter steel was coming for the windshield of that Oldsmobile
As the cop said, "Show your hands"

[Chorus:]
I got a half tank of gas and if we run all the lights
Well slip across the border on the wrong side of right
And just like Butch and Sundance well ride until the dawn
Sipping whiskey, singing cowboy songs
On the Right Side of Wrong
