Ricky Van Shelton - Crime of Pa**ion lyrics

She had a ragtop El Dorado tuck and roll pleat She picked me up in Colorado And put me right in the driver's seat I said, I got no money You know, I got no job She said, I tell you what, honey Let's find a place to rob Now, the man at the station's name was Jim I saw it sewed on his shirt I told him, do what I say You'll live another day Nobody's gotta get hurt It was the crime of pa**ion she took me by the heart when she took me by the hand Crime of pa**ion A beautiful woman and a desperate man Well, I thought the thing was over She was countin' the cash When an unmarked Chevy Nova Made the blue lights flash She said, officer, won't you help me, please I looked at her and she was pointin' at me You see, Jim at the station played the part And I talked a little perjury He went to great pains to leave out her name He was her future ex-husband, can't you see It was the crime of pa**ion She took me by the heart when she took me by the hand Crime of pa**ion A beautiful woman and a desperate man Now, the man at the station's name was Joe I saw it on the badge on his shirt He said, you'll never get away But do what we say Nobody has to get hurt It was the crime of pa**ion She took me by the heart when she took me by the hand Crime of pa**ion A beautiful woman and a desperate man Crime of pa**ion she took me by the heart when she took me by the hand Crime of pa**ion A beautiful woman and a desperate man It was the crime of pa**ion It's just a crime of pa**ion
