Green On Red - You Couldn't Get Arrested Lyrics
Were you nineteen or twentyone?A crazy outlaw, living on the runYour cowboy life we know’s a lieYou couldn’t get arrested if you triedYou were raised a rich boy, now you live in your carYou give your money to dealers or spend it all in barsYour criminal ways, who can deny?You couldn’t get arrested if you triedYou’re an art collector and a Russian spyYou’d run over animals, never bat an eyeYour gambling days have all come up dryYou couldn’t get arrested if you tried(Instrumental verse, Keyboard lead)Your manner with women has always been cruelYou’re the clown prince of learning, a yankee foolYour lover days have all run dryYou couldn’t get arrested if you triedYou’re on a roll now, how long can it last?Someone with your reputation, such a sordid pastSuch a hard life? Don’t make me cry!’Cause you couldn’t get arrested if you triedInstrumental verse, Guitar LeadI’m sure you’ll blame others for where you’re atBut hell you’ve been lucky, more lives than a catYou brilliant life has come up shyYou couldn’t get arrested if you triedYou couldn’t get arrested if you triedYou couldn’t get arrested if you tried
