Don't be bitching, honey   'Cause 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're just thieves and I don't need   To be back on that chain again      Don't you be complaining   'Cause you're gonna do my brain in   We just trying to cop a feel   And I think the cops are gaining      Get that petal to the metal, baby   Don't you let 'em win   'Cause we're just thieves and I don't need   To be back on that chain again      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 don't you 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   'Cause money walks and money talks   And I can hardly keep my feet      Keep looking over your shoulder, baby   In case they zero in   'Cause we're just thieves and I don't need   To be back on that chain again      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
