Introduction:
Am C5
Bruce and Ed and I walked into Old Pappy's Foodmart
G5 F5 Am
Bruce and Ed were brothers and they were not very smart
Am C5
But I needed some men fast to help me with this one big score
G5 F5 Am
Then I'd never have to rob another grocery store
Am C5
Fill the bag with money I said to the cashier
G5 F5 Am
Fill the bag with money honey and we'll get out of here
Am C5
But somebody tripped the alarm and then all Hell broke loose
G5 F5 Am
The bag boy he pulled out a gun and blew a hole through Bruce
Am C5
Ed caught the bag boy in the chest with both barrels from his twelve
G5 F5 Am
The bag boy flew back twenty feet into the produce shelf
Am C5
That was for my brother Ed shouted through his tears
G5 F5 Am
Now we faced the electric chair instead of 15 years
Am C5
I grabbed that bag of money and I headed for the door
G5 F5 Am
I didn't wanna die in some stinking grocery store
Am C5
But the parking lot was already crawlin' thick with cops
G5 F5 Am
That what you get when you rob a store 'round the corner from the donut shop
Am C5
Sheriff Big Dick Turner he was runnin' the whole show
G5 F5 Am
He said throw your guns down come on out boys let them people go
Am C5
You boys don't stand a chance your little heist has failed
G5 F5 Am
But I knew Big Dick Turner and we'd never reach his jail
Am C5
Ed looked up through the window just to see what was going on
G5 F5 Am
A bullet pierced his forehead and the back of Ed's head was gone
Am C5
The cashiers they were screaming Ed's brains were everywhere
G5 F5 Am
It seemed Big Dick was right there was no gettin' out of there
Am C5
A car pulled up some folks got out - it was my mom and dad
G5 F5 Am
My daddy yelled out kid you're the worst son I ever had
Am C5
You're really in it this time you're really in it deep
G5 F5 Am
I hope they blow your brains out you good for nothing creep
Am C5
Sheriff Big Dick Turner yelled get 'em out of here
G5 F5 Am
And I sent the cashier to the stock room to bring me back some beer
G5 F5 Am
I was starring in my very own Dog Day Afternoon
Am C5
Then they brought a woman out my true love Madeline
G5 F5 Am
She left me seven months before and I hadn't seen her since
Am C5
She left me for the bouncer at the bowling alley bar
G5 F5 Am
She left him two weeks later for some guy who sold used cars
Am C5
She said Franky please come out of there you're in an awful jam
G5 F5 Am
Franky please come out of there and we can start again
Am C5
While you're away in prison I will wait faithfully
G5 F5 Am
Franky I do love you please come on out for me
Am C5
Well I knew that she was lying 'cause she never told the truth
G5 F5 Am
I knew that I would get the chair they'd never let me loose
Am C5
But for my true love Madeline I threw my gun out on the ground
G5 F5 Am
I hollered Big Dick Turner I'm coming out please don't cut me down
Am C5
Well they didn't give me death they gave me 60 years
G5 F5 Am
So I think it's safe to say that I'll be dying in here
Am C5
And Madeline and Big Dick Turner they're the hottest thing in town
G5 F5 Am
I was a love sick fool when I had the chance I should've shot them down.
