Lyrics

Held Up Without a Gun

[Verse 1]

Well, I was out drivin', just a-takin' it slow

Looked at my tank, it was readin' low

Pulled in an Exxon station out on Highway One

[Refrain]

Held up without a gun

Held up without a gun

[Verse 2]

Some damn fool with a guitar walkin' down the street

Ain't got nowhere to go, ain't got nothin' to eat

Man with a cigar says, "Sign here, son"

[Refrain]

Held up without a gun

Held up without a gun

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

Now it's a sin and it oughta be a crime

You know it happens buddy all the time

Try to make a livin', try to have a little fun

[Refrain]

Held up without a gun

Held up without a gun

Held up without a gun

Held up without a gun
