Shoot Me Down

Footsteps up behind me on a Saturday night

Seems like you can't take a walk without taking a fright

I take a look discretely but I can't see a face

I put my best foot down and start to increase my pace

Underneath the lamplight as I’m starting to run

Shoot me down it's a man with a gun

“Lookee here mister I don't have that much dough

But you can have what I’ve got if you just please let me go”

I give him my wallet

He gives me a smile and says

“You can leave here with your life, cos I appreciate your style”
