Stealin' Lyrics

Take me across the water
'Cause I need a place to hide
You know, I done the rancher's daughter
And I sure did hurt his pride

Well, there's a hundred miles of desert
Lies between his hide and mine
I don't need no food and no water, Lord
'Cos I'm runnin' out of time

Fightin', killin', wine and women
Gonna put me to my grave
Runnin', hidin', losin', cryin'
Nothin' left to save but my life

So I stood on a ridge and shunned religion
Thinkin' the world was mine
I made my breaks and some big mistakes
By the stealin' when I should've been buyin'

All that fightin', killin', wine and women
Gonna put me to my grave
Runnin', hidin', losin', cryin'
Nothin' left to save but my life
Life, life, life, life

So I stood on a ridge and shunned religion
Thinkin' the world was mine
I made my breaks and some big mistakes
Stealin' when I should've been buyin'
Stealin' when I should've been buyin'
Stealin' when I should've been buyin'

You know I was stealin'
When I should've been buyin'
Stealin' when I should've been buyin'
Stealin' when I should've been buyin'
Stealin' when I should've been buyin'

Stealin', should've been buyin'
Stealin', should've been buyin'
Stealin', should've been buyin'
Stealin', stealin', stealin'
Stealin', stealin'

I was stealin' when I should've been buyin'
Stealin' I should've been buyin'
Stealin' when I should've been buyin'
Stealin' when I should've been buyin'
