Don´t be bitchin´ honey,
´Cos you´re holding all the money,
And now we´re outlaws, running scared,
And I don´t think it´s funny,
Keep your foot on the gas now baby,
Don´t you let ´em in,
´Cos we just thieves and I don´t need,
To be back on that chain again.

Don´t you be complaining,
´Cos you´re gonna do my brain in,
We just trying to cop a feel,
And I think the cops are gaining,
Got that petal to the metal baby,
Don´t you let ´em win,
´Cos we just thieves, and I don´t need,
To be back on that chain again.

[1st Chorus:]
Don´t shoot me down, I ain´t no violent man,
Don´t put a.45 in my hand,
I ain´t gonna do no time,
I know I´ve been a fool,
But please don´t send me down,
I don´t want to spend my life locked up,
Without no women around.

Now we´re back on the street,
In love with every whore I meet,
´Cos money walks and money talks,
And I can hardly keep my feet,
Keep lookin´ over your shoulder baby,
In case they zero in,
´Cos we just thieves and I don´t need,
To be back on that chain again.

[2nd Chorus:]
Police don´t shoot me down,
I don´t want to die in the dust,
I can´t make the scene where I die like a dog with the crowd looking on in disgust,
We´re just kids with guns,
American as apple pie,
So don´t you put that hurt on me,
I ain´t gonna do no time,
We were just running scared,
Everybody but us knew the game,
We never had no reason to kill,
But those people are dead just the same.
