Machine Gun Blues

Well, I'm a gangster in 1934, junkies, winos, pimps, and whores

And all you men, women and kids best stay out the way

I just left your town, took all your loot

Wore a pink carnation and a pinstripe suit

A hopped-up V8 Ford and some two-tone shoes

And I'm already gone

I left a pool of blood and sorrow, I've got the machine gun blues

I'll be out of here before the break of dawn

Hit the highway, smoke a big cigar

Gonna stop and bury the cash, then get some more

There's only one thing on my mind

That's makin' across that old state line

Amid a hail of avenging bullets where it meant for me

And I'm already gone

I left a path of pure destruction, I've got the machine gun blues

Already gone

My life will soon be through, I've got the machine gun blues

I'm public enemy number one, I'm sorry for all the things that I've done

If indeed we do cross paths, it's nothing personal

And I'm already gone

I left a trail of devastation, I've got the machine gun blues

Already gone

My life will soon be through, I've got the machine gun blues
