Iron City Houserockers - Runnin' Scared lyrics

Artist: Iron City Houserockers

album: Have a Good Time but... Get out Alive


Running scared
(Joe grushecky, gil snyder, art nardini)
I lost my job – ran out of cash
Better do something better do it fast
The girl of my dreams just walked out the door
She said she couldn't stand being this poor
I need some money in a hurry before it's too late
One big score would set me straight
Running scared with a price on my head
The police want me alive or dead
I don't care what the newspaper said
It's just not fair – i'm running scared
I took a drink – steeled up my nerves
In like clint eastwood i walked
I said "get your hands up"
They did what i told them – this is easier than i thought
"Give me your money in a hurry – open up that vault"
The guard surprised me – it was really nobody's fault
Running scared with a price on my head
The police want me alive or dead
I don't care what the newspaper said
It's just not fair – i'm running scared
Got back to her place knocked on the door
I said "honey we got to go"
She said "what? you must be kidding
I ain't going no place with a fool like you no more"
"But honey i got the money in a hurry
And after all i've been through
And anyway, i did it all for you"
Running scared with a price on my head
The police want me alive or dead
I don't care what the newspaper said
It's just not fair – i'm running scared
