I've got my plaid rags on
I've got somewhere to be
Got to get that clam and feed my family
Walkin' nice and slow
I've got to get in edge
With a flapper on my arm everyone's dancin
I'm on the lam assigned to get a wiggle on
(Chorus)
And no one knows
This hooch can't be exposed
And I'm living just above the law
Oh tommy gun
Won't you set me free
Cause the pool's closin' in
And my kids have gotta eat
Meet me at the speakeasy
Got all my hoods and capers
Hands up behind the chin mill
This gun is smokin' and it's read for a close enounter
Heads up and run (heads up and go)
Man down these cops have got to go
Bullets sprayin' blood is spillin'
And we won't stop 'til their dead.
Say hello to my little friends
And no one knows
This hooch can't be exposed
And I'm living just above the law
Oh tommy gun
Won't you set me free
Cause the pool's closin' in
And my kids have gotta eat
Meet me at the speakeasy
Caught in a good job turnin'
My last words escape the barrel
I rather die tonight
Than drop my gun give up my freedom
Caught in a good job turnin'
(Just drop your gun)
My last words escape the barrel
(Cause there's nowhere that you can run)
I'd rather die tonight
Than drop my gun give up my freedom
Caught in a good job turning'
(Just drop your gun)
My last words escape the barrel
(Cause there's nowhere that you can run)
I'd rather die tonight
Than drop my gun give up my freedom
You can't escape the long arm of the law
And no one knows
This hooch can't be exposed
And I'm living just above the law
Oh tommy gun
Won't you set me free
Cause the pool's closin' in
And my kids have gotta eat
Meet me at the speakeasy
