HELD UP WITHOUT A GUN

Home demo

Hungry boy comes in off the street
Hungry boy comes in off the street
Ain't got nothing, nothing to eat
A man says "better sign her son"
Look out!
Held up without a gun
Held up without a gun

I was out driving, I was taking it slow
Looked at my tank it looked low
Pulled into an Texaco out on One oh One
Look out!
Held up without a gun
Held up without a gun
Held up without a gun

It's a sin, it's a crime
Man it happens all the time
Better keep looking out for number one
Held up without a gun
Held up without a gun
Held up without a gun
