Dan Colehour - Another Man's Crime lyrics

Ardmore oklahoma summer ninety three Some kid robbed the bank and trust and looked a lot like me I was just a two bit drifter, lookin' for a place to land When the d.a. and his grand jury agreed that i's their man My court appointed lawyer was tellin' me to plea He said "boy you keep your mouth shut, just leave the law to me" I had a prior in texas and i knew the deal was good as done So i jumped a guard in the county yard, i cut the fence and run And i caught the first train leaving I've been running ever since It's nothing less than twenty years For this federal offense You can take me in a pine box Cause i ain't doin' time...for another man's crime For another man's crime Today i'm goin' north bound, winter's turned to spring I don't know where i'm headed or what tomorrow brings Maybe kansas city ,st. paul or council bluffs But i'll criss-cross these united states And leave ya chewin' on my dust I'll catch the first train leaving Right before the dawn About the time you're wind of me Hell, i'm a hundred miles a gone I know this aint no life i'm living But i aint doin' time...for another man's crime No i won't, for another man's crime Oh yeah I won't do the time...for another man's crime
