Crime Of Passion Lyrics - Singles - Ricky Van Shelton

She had a rag top Eldorado tuck-in-row pleat 

She picked me up in Colorado and put me right in the drivers 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 a crime of passion 

She took me by the heart when she took me by the hand 

Crime of passion 

A beautiful woman and a desperate man 

Well I thought the thing was over she was counting the cash 

When an unmarked Chevy Nova made the blue lights flash 

She said, "Officer, would you help me please?" 

I looked at her and she was pointing at me 

You see Jim at the station played his part 

He talked a little perjury 

He went to great pains to leave out a name 

He was a future ex-husband, can't you see? 

It was a crime of passion 

She took me by the heart when she took me by the hand 

Crime of passion 

A beautiful woman and a desperate man 

Now the cop at the station's name was Joe 

Saw it on his badge on his shirt 

He said you'll never get away just do what we say 

Nobody's gotta get hurt 

It was a crime of passion 

She took me by the heart when she took me by the hand 

Crime of passion 

A beautiful woman and a desperate man 

Crime of passion 

She took me by the heart when she took me by the hand 

Crime of passion 

A beautiful woman and a desperate man 

It was a crime of passion 

It's just a crime of passion
