The people here they hate you
'Cause they know what you have done
The cops are out to get you, boy
So you had better run
I know that woman was evil
But you went and shot her down
A crime of passion just won't wash
So, get out of this town

The situation is unwinding
Got to get away somehow
No use just sitting here waiting
Anticipating
Brother, what you gonna do now?

Got no ties to keep you here
And trouble's coming fast
In this sordid rat race, man
You are coming last
East is east and west is west
so, pick a way to go
Just so long you are gone
Let the cold wind blow

The situation is unwinding
Got to get away somehow
No use just sitting here waiting
Anticipating
Brother, what you gonna do now?

(Bridge)

The walls are closing in on you
You're running out of time
If you can not take the heat
You shouldn't do the crime
I know that woman drove you mad
And treated you like dirt
But you can not remove the stain
Of blood upon your shirt

The situation is unwinding
Got to get away somehow
No use just sitting here waiting
Anticipating
Brother, what you gonna do now?

Been messing about with this one for a while. An ongoing project shall we say ...

Turns out I had used an almost identical vocal melody on another song. So, I have re recorded with a different melody
