Wrong place, wrong time, guess I should have paid some mind 
Spoke up instead of playing blind, but how was I to know? 
Bobby pulled the pistol from under his coat, he held it to the cashier's throat 
All she had in her drawer was a twenty-dollar float, just enough to make him blow
I said, Bobby put the pistol down, he gave me a look, said I'm sick of this town 
Everybody's always kicking us 'round, like we ain't worth a dime 
I said, robbing this girl don't change a thing, he said, tell me now, are you out or in 
I never had a chance before he did the thing, I had to watch that poor girl die

refrain: 
And if I had the choice I suppose I'd go, someplace down in Mexico 
Someplace where nobody knows my name 
Yeah, I'd hop a freight or steal a car, sleep out underneath the stars 
Just keep moving and see how far 
I could go

The D.A. tried to cut me a deal, all I had to do was take the stand and squeal
Bobby'd get the chair, I'd pull a few years, but I was just as much to blame 
I know what we did it wasn't right, I think about that girl most every night 
Knowing that I should have seen the signs, like the sky before it rains 
    refrain

Bobby and me never had a real life, never held a job, never took a wife 
Guess we drank too much and we liked to fight, but he was a friend of mine 
I don't know where it all went wrong, what he thought this killing would solve 
Or if he even thought about it at all, guess he just got broke' inside 
    refrain
