The Highland Street Incident

• E

E 
Some guy said to some other guy behind closed doors 

I don't even know how long I've been awake anymore 
       A			         E 
But I know what we're out of and you do too 
      A			         E 
Look around we're down to nothing but me and you 
	  B7 
We sold everything we stole and everything we had 
      A 
It's not that bad though; it’s not that bad 

	   E 
We will be buying our shit back when your cousin gets out 

That's only going to be a couple weeks from now 
     A					E 
You know what I'm thinking ‘cause you're thinking it too 
        A			E 
It was harder to imagine than it was to do 
	    B7 
In spite of all of your worry last night went okay 
     A				     E 
That man just threw his money up and ran away 


Chorus: 

 A		     E 
Did we get arrested? No we did not 
A		            E 
We didn't shoot anyone - we didn't get shot 
A		          E 
We didn't hurt anyone - at least not a lot 
       B7		       A 
And we got what we wanted;  We got what we wanted 



You're right I could kill someone -- I don't care 
But that's not the way it's going down 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 behind me buddy this is the place 
Hold this blue bandana up to cover your face 
Yeah, this is loaded but it's only for security 
I ain’t shootin' anybody that ain’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
