I went home with a waitress the way I always do
How was I to know she was with the russians, too?
I was gambling in havana, I took a little risk
Send lawyers, guns, and money
Dad, get me out of this, hiyah!
An innocent bystander
Somehow I got stuck between a rock and a hard place
And I'm down on my luck
Yes, I'm down on my luck
Well, I'm down on my luck
I'm hiding in honduras, I'm a desperate man
Send lawyers, guns, and money
The shit has hit the fan
Send lawyers, guns, and money
Send lawyers, guns, and money
Send lawyers, guns, and money, hiyah!
Send lawyers, guns, and money, ow!
How was I to know she was with the russians, too?
I was gambling in havana, I took a little risk
Send lawyers, guns, and money
Dad, get me out of this, hiyah!
An innocent bystander
Somehow I got stuck between a rock and a hard place
And I'm down on my luck
Yes, I'm down on my luck
Well, I'm down on my luck
I'm hiding in honduras, I'm a desperate man
Send lawyers, guns, and money
The shit has hit the fan
Send lawyers, guns, and money
Send lawyers, guns, and money
Send lawyers, guns, and money, hiyah!
Send lawyers, guns, and money, ow!

I've acquired a live Warren album.
I hope to be a lawyer. Then sing this and dedicate it to my dad. But keep the part about being a lawyer quiet on my yearly or whatever gigs.
But I live in Savannah. I'm going to change gambling in Havannah to Savannah.
I've caught panic play this, presumably in Savannah and they haven't done this.
A couple times of years we have tourists, random idea I had.
i.e. on st pats. if i was lucky enough to get a gig it could go well with them i think.<br /> <br />
St. Pat's you really can be gambling with the cops, if you are a tourist, are overt in celebration and don't know how to handle cops. They'll get you in holding locked up and back on the street in time to celebrate. Great success - revenue
They'll have you plead guilty and pay a fine. So that's my fantasy playing this on St. Pat's being a lawyer<br /> <br /> and change havana to savannah
St. Pat's is all about forgetting life and everyone being an alcoholic for a day. If I could tweak the lyrics I think it would go over well.
Of course after I have a JD I'll land a big gig on St. Pat's. I just know it will help me facilitate that. <br /> <br /> I can't sing but it's rock and I might on this one....I'll tweak the lyrics to fit St. Pat's.<br /> <br /> Cheers I may crack one in a minute. I live in Savannah and it's Christmas Eve.
