Could you tell me something, mister
You seen this young woman
or the man with her?
Now they was last seen rollin two deep
With their taillights burnin your street
Wanting nothing else,
Nothing else, nothing else
But they own company
And maybe just a few bills,
Oh, a few bills
So they could buy a little peace
Oh, the chances looking alright, alright
They ain’t coming back tonight, tonight
Gonna try to catch em
Come the break a dawn, c’mon
Now by that time
They’ll be long gone, long gone
Could you take a minute, guy?
Can I have a quick look around inside?
I think they might be holed up in your house
But a gunshot could talk them out
If you play it right, play it right, play it right
You make it out alive
But they said their goodbyes
Oh, they said their goodbyes
When they left last night
CHORUS
With their eyes wet and dangerous
Like they been staring into the sun
They got their hands held to the sky
Ain’t gonna put em down for anyone
We got a chance, they said
We got a chance, they said
Ain’t gonna give it up
For any other man, they said
Ain’t gonna give it up
For any other man, they said
Ain’t gonna give it up
For any other man, no we can’t
CHORUS
