The Highland Street Incident Lyrics - Todd Snider

Some guy said to some other guy behind closed doors 

I don't even know how long I've been awake anymore 

But I know what we're out of and you do too 

Look around we're down to nothing but me and you 

We sold everything we stole and everything we had 

It's not that bad though 

It's not that bad 

We will be buying our shit back when your cousin gets out 

That's only going to be a couple weeks from now 

You know what I'm thinking cause you're thinking it too 

It was harder to imagine than it was to do 

In spite of all of your worry last night went okay 

That man just threw his money up and ran away 

Did we get arrested? No we did not 

We didn't shoot anyone, we didn't get shot 

We didn't hurt anyone, at least not a lot 

And we got what we wanted 

We got what we wanted 

You're right I could kill somebody, I don't care 

But that's not the way it's gonna go tonight I swear 

We'll just walk on up to Highland Street behind the bar 

In the back through the alley where they park the cars 

It will go down just as easy as it did last night 

We'll be back here in an hour hidin' out of sight 

Did we get arrested? No we did not 

We didn't shoot anyone, we didn't get shot 

We didn't hurt anyone, at least not a lot 

And we got what we wanted 

Hey stand right here behind me buddy this is the place 

Hold this blue bandanna up to cover your face 

Yes this is loaded but it's only for security 

I won't be shootin' anyone that isn't shootin' at me 

Shut up I think I hear somebody coming man 

Shut up I think shh 

Run man run 

Run man run 

We'll get out of this together when your cousin gets out 

That is only gonna be a couple weeks from now 

Run man run
