Lyrics
[Intro]
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
[Verse 1]
You were lyin' there with nothin' on
But a goofy little grin and a platinum blonde
I can't believe you'd do that on our bed
I got a pistol and I got a bullet
And a pissed off finger just-a itchin' to pull it
The only thing keepin' me from losin' my head
[Chorus]
'Cause I hate stripes, and orange ain't my color
And if I squeeze that trigger tonight, I'll be wearin' one or the other
There's no crime of passion worth a crime of fashion
The only thing savin' your life
Is that I don't look good in orange and I hate stripes
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
[Verse 2]
I could fall in love with a prison guard
I could sell cigarettes in the prison yard
Don't think hard time would be that hard on me
I could pick up trash on the side of the road, but I'd die if I saw someone I know
Ain't the chains, it's the clothes that's stoppin' me
[Chorus]
I hate stripes, and orange ain't my color
And if I squeeze that trigger tonight, I'll be wearin' one or the other
There's no crime of passion worth a crime of fashion
The only thing savin' your life
Is that I don't look good in orange and I hate stripes
[Bridge]
Oh, and one shot
Ain't worth a bad mugshot
God knows I wouldn't be caught holdin' up a number while the whole town's starin' at the picture in the paper of me wearin' stripes
[Chorus]
There's no crime of passion worth a crime of fashion
The only thing savin' your life
Is that I don't look good in orange and I hate stripes
[Chorus]
And orange ain't my color
And if I squeeze that trigger tonight, I'll be wearin' one or the other
There's no crime of passion worth a crime of fashion
The only thing savin' your life
Is that I don't look good in orange and I hate stripes
[Outro]
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
