lyrics

Sally’s sister’s selling cigarettes at the White Hen.
I just stole these beers from my dad
We could drink em’ and smoke a couple Marlboro Reds.
Taco Bell parking lot anywhere USA
I ain’t got a thing to do, today, tomorrow, or yesterday.

It’s ok
It’s alright
You can just stay here tonight.

(chorus)
It’s a bummer in the city baby.
Don’t you know, don’t you know.
It’s pretty dangerous.
You better not go.

I heard you were selling shit behind the White Hen.
I ain’t here to judge you but if you do it again would you please let me in?
We could rule the whole world from here one day a time.
I just want you to know together we could commit the finest crime.

It’s ok
It’s alright
You can just stay here tonight.

A-woo-hoo-hoo, I don’t know.
Here we go.
