we got in the car

When Tom began to tell me his sad story...
Verse 2

He said "Long around 1942
Buddy, I robbed a bank in Kalamazoo

Just to get enough money to

marry my true darlin'
But she died when she
heard what I had done

Standing on the hi- ways a callin'

A callin' mister won't

Verse 4

Roadside men's room"
Verse 6

So, three nights later at Rusty's door

There to my bewilderment

I found a sign which read

In a sanitary way by Turnpike Tom

The outlaw with the fast

And tell him his days will soon be better

Remember that you only fall for

Lies and stories when you really want to
