Victim Of The Crime Lyrics - Jackie Greene

Of all the things we do for love 

I'd do them all again 

Cause' even though it hurts sometimes 

It's worth it in the end 

I have chased that mighty dollar 

Down the dirty street 

They put diamonds on my collar 

And shackles on my feet 

There was a time when I was king 

The world at my command 

But, all that gutless vanity 

Was more than I could stand 

I became a witness 

To an ancient mystery 

Everything was answered 

In the way you looked at me

Now, the things I do for love 

I do them all for you 

I can't escape the feeling that 

It's what I'm supposed to do 

The memories of wasted years 

Won't suffer me no more 

I had to stumble through the dark 

To find my way to your door 

Might be, it was a matter of time 

I was just a vagabond 

Victim of the crime 

I was just a vagabond 

Victim of the crime 

I can hear that whippoorwill 

Moaning in the dawn 

I guess he knows a thing or two 

About keeping on 

Photos 

Who would know that wickedness 

Would someday make me wise 

Battle-scarred and bandaged 

Thank God that I'm alive 

So, here I stand before you honey 

Humbled by the rain 

Patches on my overcoat 

You know I ain't ashamed 

I ain't got nothing up my sleeve, 

I have nothing to sell 

All I have is a messy heart 

And a love story to tell 

Might be, it was a matter of time 

I was just a vagabond 

Victim of the crime 

I was just a vagabond 

Victim of the crime
