[00:09.72]As I was driving home along the boulevard late one night
[00:13.72]I saw a guy in the corner bumming all alone
[00:17.85]As I passed him by I heard him holler out
[00:22.24]Hey
[00:24.04]I slowed down to see what he said he said
[00:30.56]Eh By any chance are you goin' my way
[00:34.66]I said sure baby hop on in and give me a cigarette
[00:39.06]Then he reached out in his pocket
[00:41.19]And that was the moment I regret
[00:45.57]Well now boy Reach for the sky
[00:50.69]Because I don't understand sir
[00:54.76]Don't you try no monkey business I got a stopper in my hand
[01:04.01]An' then he said
[01:04.77]
[01:05.98]You see this rock I got in my hand
[01:08.23]This is a 38 pistol built on a 45 frame
[01:14.34]It shoots tombstone bullets an' a ball and chain
[01:17.86]He said
[01:18.48]I ain't tryin' to shake you up but I just want you to know
[01:22.76]If the cops start to crowding me in
[01:24.89]You're gonna be the first to go
[01:26.93]You just drive on just like there ain't nothin' happenin'
[01:28.56]That's what he told me he wouldn't even let me look back at nothin'
[01:30.84]And he said when you get to that red light
[01:35.45]I want you to jump back your left and then switch back your right
[01:40.49]
[01:41.81]He said
[01:42.36]Now I want you to park up in that alley
[01:45.68]Ah ah not that alley that one over there
[01:47.92]And cool it behind that liquor store
[01:49.93]And keep a sharp lookout at all times
[01:52.21]While I sneak in that back door
[01:53.61]That's what he told me
[01:56.50]He said keep your foot on the gas
[01:58.60]And always be on guard
[02:00.54]'Cos when I come runnin' out the liquor store with all that money
[02:02.63]He wanted me to mash on it real hard
[02:05.27]
[02:07.33]He said
[02:07.90]Now don't you come out of there an' try me a double crossed
[02:13.72]Because it's murder when the heats on
[02:18.03]Well now boy
[02:19.67]Reach for the sky
[02:22.97]Yeah but I don't understand sir
[02:27.31]Don't you try no monkey business I got a stopper in my hand
[02:36.65]Ooeee while I was sittin' there just tremblin'
[02:42.70]A spotlight hit me dead in the face
[02:47.18]An' a cop pulled up behind me and said
[02:49.31]Move up a bit man for we want to take your place
[02:53.51]An' then this guy come runnin' out of the store
[02:54.99]With the money in his hand
[02:56.17]And said Oh there you are
[02:57.56]He made a mistake in the dark and ran and leaped in the police car
[03:02.03]When they put the handcuffs on him
[03:03.73]I said
[03:04.42]Child your crime must have outgrew him
[03:10.54]An' then they said
[03:11.18]Yeh we gonna put him so far back in jail this time
[03:16.82]That they're gonna have to pump air into him
[03:20.33]Well now boy reach for the sky
[03:25.23]Yeah but I said I don't understand sir
[03:29.63]Don't you try no monkey business I got a stopper in my hand
