pound of prevention - vance gilbert lyrics
[verse 1]
there i was
working at the window
turning pennies and paychecks
into savings and loans
reach for the ceiling she said
the gun’s quite loaded
fill the bag up with big bills
and i’ll be gone
caught her eyes
underneath the bandanna
wild as fire
that’s when i fell in love (huh)
everybody lay down
and count to a hundred
‘cept for you, boy
`cause i’m taking you hostage
[pre*chorus]
what’s that i feel
`tween my shoulder blades?
like ice*cold steel
she explained it was her
[chorus]
pound of prevention
sixteen ounces of curе
for this hard, hard world
pound of prevention
sixteen ounces of curе
for this hard world
[verse 2]
do as i tell you
you’ll be alright
don’t try nothin’ funny
i’ll let you stay alive
a woman like you
you seem so bright
why you wanna lead a life of crime?
tried it your way
but i got burned
thought i had a job and a good man
but i had a lot to learn
found out quickly
the real road to success
sense of security
all wrapped up in this here
[pre*chorus]
what’s that i feel
`tween my shoulder blades?
like ice*cold steel
she explained it was her
[chorus]
pound of prevention
sixteen ounces of cure
for this hard, hard world
pound of prevention
sixteen ounces of cure
for this hard world
[verse 3]
hot wired a chevy
worked so fast
swear to god she did it
with just one hand
blue lights flashing
in the rear view mirror
we took the back roads
and we lost the man
deserted rest stop
somewhere on the highway
she taped my ankles
tied my hands
gunned the motor
blew me a kiss
sped off into the sunset
never to be seen again
i finally got myself untied
sat bolt upright
`cause by my side was
a bank roll of thousand dollar bills
on the ground
she stole my heart lord
but left me here with this
[chorus]
pound of prevention
sixteen ounces of cure
for this hard, hard world
pound of prevention
sixteen ounces of cure
for this hard world
[outro]
oh, left me with money
left me with money
yes she did
baby left me money
yes she did
pound of prevention all the same
left me money
oh, money money money money
pound of prevention
for this hard world
this hard world
