The Highland Street Incident

The Highland Street Incident - Todd Snider

Some guy said to some other guy behind closed doors

I don't even know how long I've been awake anymore

But I know what we're out of and you do too

Look around we're down to nothing but me and you

We sold everything we stole and everything we had

It's not that bad though

It's not that bad

We will be buying our sh*t back when your cousin gets out

That's only going to be a couple weeks from now

You know what I'm thinking cause you're thinking it too

It was harder to imagine than it was to do

In spite of all of your worry last night went okay

That man just threw his money up and ran away

Did we get arrested No we did not

We didn't shoot anyone - we didn't get shot

We didn't hurt anyone - at least not a lot

And we got what we wanted

We got what we wanted

You're right I could kill somebody -- I don't care

But that's not the way it's gonna go tonight I swear

We'll just walk on up to Highland Street behind the bar

In the back through the alley where they park the cars

It will go down just as easy as it did last night

We'll be back here in an hour hidin' out of sight

Did we get arrested No we did not

We didn't shoot anyone - we didn't get shot

We didn't hurt anyone - at least not a lot

And we got what we wanted

Hey stand right here behind me buddy this is the place

Hold this blue bandana up to cover your face

Yes this is loaded but it's only for security

I won't be shootin' anyone that isn't shootin' at me

Shut up I think I hear somebody coming man

Shut up I think shhhhhh

Run man run

Run man run

We'll get out of this together when your cousin gets out

That is only gonna be a couple weeks from now

Run man run
