Right Side of Wrong A friend of a friend needs a favor No questions asked, there's not much more to say
Me and the wife, we need the money We've got four kids all hungry, one on the way Slip these sweat socks in your shirt and pray they think your packin' Be sure to keep your head down, don't look 'em in the eye And don't get fancy, Ricky, we ain't Jimmy Cagney Look at me, let's do the job and let's get home tonight
Chorus: I got a half tank of gas and if we run all the lights We'll slip across the border on the wrong side of right And just like Butch and Sundance we'll ride until the dawn Sipping whiskey, singing cowboy songs On the Right Side of Wrong
We picked a helluva of a night, from the shore I see the skyline In a couple of hours from now Rick, we're gonna get out of this life We'll stop for smokes, I brought a six pack, we'll stop at lookers on the way back Hell, we'll laugh this off, keep your fingers crossed that all goes well tonight
Chorus: I got a half tank of gas and if we run all the lights We'll slip across the border on the wrong side of right
And just like Butch and Sundance we'll ride until the dawn Sipping whiskey, singing cowboy songs On the Right Side of Wrong
We'll make the grade, they'll know our names, I need a friend to drive here Wear my necklace of St. Christopher and talk to him while I go inside I'll take that suitcase, get the cash and we'll be gone before you know Wait until we tell the girls we're moving down to the Gulf of Mexico...

A friend of a friend needed a favor Life was just what happened while we were busy making plans We never saw nothing, there was a run-in .9 millimeter steel was coming for the windshield of that Oldsmobile As the cop said, 'Show your hands!'
Chorus: I got a half tank of gas and if we run all the lights We'll slip across the border on the wrong side of right And just like Butch and Sundance we'll ride until the dawn Sipping whiskey, singing cowboy songs On the Right Side of Wrong
