Well I′m a gangster in 1934

Junkies, winos, pimps, and whores

And all you men, women and kidsBest stay out the way

I just left your town

Took all your loot

Wore a pink carnation and a pinstripe suit

A hopped up V8 Ford

And some two-tone shoes

And I'm already gone

I left a pool of blood and sorrow

I′ve got the machine gun blues

I'll be out of here before the break of dawn

Hit the highway

Smoke a big cigar

Gonna stop and bury the cash

Then get some more

There's only one thing on my mind

That′s makin′ across that ol' state line

Amid a hail of avenging bullets

That are meant for me

And I′m already gone

I left a path of pure destruction

I've got the machine gun blues

Already done

My life will soon be though

I′ve got the machine gun blues

I'm public enemy number one

I′m sorry for all the things that I've done

If indeed we do cross paths

It's nothing personal

And I′m already gone

I left a trail of devastation

I′ve got the machine gun blues

Already gone

My life will soon be though

I've got the machine gun blues
