Well it's 4 AM and the police man Said son you can't sleep in the depot I'd get coffee but I'm broke though I roll me a smoke And ease out among the morning people Step up to the newsstand talking to the paper man Talking to the old street sweeper When the neon nights show their face All over the early morning paper It said wanted for robbing a grocery store Disguised as a little old lady He's a bad piece of vermin It's your money he's after Consider him armed and crazy Well I put me in a trash can waiting for the trash man To haul me out of the city He said you gotta understand that I'm just a garbage man Nobody every showed me no pity He said you're wanted for robbing a grocery store Disguised as a little old lady You're a bad pistol packer It's your money he's after Consider him armed and crazy Well I know it's too late to make my escape When I hear the police coming He pulled a .45 and stuck it right between my eyes Said don't you do nothing He said you're wanted for robbing a grocery store
