The judge he put me down for life because I was a stone    They never got the money back because I never told    Well half of twenty five went by before they set me free    I know the game I know they play it they're gonna follow me       Newspaper men crawl around with me say they want the storyline    but I ain't gonna tell to them why I served the time    I know the boys are waiting in the cafe across the way    They wanna know where the money Where it is it's gonna stay       Oh caught in the middle of a crossfire    Gun on my left gun on my right Crossfire       Well I ain't going nowhere 'cos I kinda like this place    Until the heat cools down ain't gonna show my face    I tried to get some sleep someone's ringing on the phone    Why can't they all just go away and leave me alone       chorus       Just when I think I'm verging on the brink of freedom    someone from the past turns to me and asks    'Are you going somewhere If so then lead on'       I don't pay no rent it's on the house I still got friends I found    They'll all be on my good books when the time it comes around    Till then I'll sit here patiently and bide my time each day    and when I'm free and flying that'll be the time to pay       chorus       Crossfire
