Steelman frame in a creek bed Took the money & you fled. Counted months til they found you They had your bike they were bound to 26 from here to home 26 no gun just notes 26 without a shot That's more than Bonnie & Clyde got You know they called you the Choir Boy Before they had any hints That you only ever pressed your palms So you wouldn't leave prints Don't they say you can't go home Thanksgiving you should have known Read your rights & cuffed face down In front of Ace Hardware in your hometown Order called & they read your name On your feet as judgment came All those times they thought you were praying Tom you should've been praying You know they called you the Choir Boy The way you cleared those safes But you only ever bowed your head To keep your face off the tapes & Tom I heard you were smiling When the feds rushed in Was it a kind of relief To pay for your sin
