Crime Partners
(c) 2022 W. R. Cantrell, Jr.
We were heading down the highway
When you asked if I would steal
I didn’t know what to say
I didn’t want to seal the deal
You said it was an easy score
I couldn’t resist the dare
The mark was an open door
And it would make us millionaires
It was time to decide
If we were partners in this crime
Shades of grey or cut and dried
Evade the law just one more time
We drove down to the local bank
An open door we stepped inside
Guns were aimed at point blank
No one moved and no one died
The take was a hundred grand
We left without a sound
With the money in our hands
We headed out of town
Flying low down the highway
At a hundred miles an hour
We embraced the coming day
Things started to turn sour
The roadblock was all set
A decision to be made
Do we run the gauntlet?
Or do our sins become our fate?
