Tom Justice, The Choir Boy Robber, Apprehended At Ace Hardware in Libertyville, IL - Casiotone For The Painfully Alone
Steelman frame in a creek bed
Took the money and you fled
Counted months till they found you
They had your bike they were bound to
Twenty six from here to home
Twenty six no gun just notes
Twenty six without a shot
That's more than Bonnie and Clyde got
Know they called you choir boy
Before they had any hints
That you only ever pressed your palms
So you wouldn't leave prints
Don't they say you can't go home
Thanks giving you should have known
Read your rights and cuffed face down
In front of ace hardware in your hometown
Order called and they read your name
On your feet as judgment came
All those times they thought you were praying
Tom you should've been praying
Know they called you choir boy
The way you cleared those safes
But you only ever bowed your head
To keep your face off the tapes
And Tom I heard you smiling
As the feds rushed in
Was it a kind of relief
To pay for your sin
