Armed And Crazy - Johnny Paycheck

Well it’s 4 AM and the police man

Said son you can’t sleep in the depot

I’d get coffee but I’m broke though I roll me a smoke

And ease out among the morning people

Step up to the newsstand talking to the paper man

Talking to the old street sweeper

When the neon nights show their face

All over the early morning paper

It said wanted for robbing a grocery store

Disguised as a little old lady

He’s a bad piece of vermin

It’s your money he’s after

Consider him armed and crazy

Well I put me in a trash can waiting for the trash man

To haul me out of the city

He said you gotta understand that I’m just a garbage man

Nobody every showed me no pity

He said you’re wanted for robbing a grocery store

Disguised as a little old lady

You’re a bad pistol packer

It’s your money he’s after

Consider him armed and crazy

Well I know it’s too late to make my escape

When I hear the police coming

He pulled a .45 and stuck it right between my eyes

Said don’t you do nothing

He said you’re wanted for robbing a grocery store
