Ricky Van Shelton - Crime Of Passion lyrics

rate me

She had a ragtop El Dorado tuck and roll pleat

She picked me up in Colorado and put me right in the driver's 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 the 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 countin' the cash

When an unmarked Chevy Nova made the blue lights flash

She said officer won't you help me please I looked at her and she was pointin' at me

You see Jim at the station played the part and I talked a little perjury

He went to great pains to leave out her name

He was her future exhusband can't you see

It was the crime of passion...

Now the man at the station's name was Joe I saw it on the badge on his shirt

He said you'll never get away but do what we say nobody has to get hurt

It was the crime of passion...

Crime of passion...

It was the crime of passion It's just a crime of passion
