lyrics

sit down, Mike Reese
I'm glad you had some time to meet
you see, I've got a most important thing
needs discussing
I heard you're having trouble
trying to support your family
but hey, if money's the problem
I got a solution I'll be offering

Mike Reese
what I've done is I've planned a robbery
now just stay calm and hear me out

we'll take equal cuts
if things look bad we'll just give it up
oh, we're not gonna play it safe
we're gonna take it all
that way we're sure we'll have enough
and when it's done
we'll drive down south
we'll wait for things to start cooling off
just tell your wife, just tell your friends
you hit the jackpot playing slots

oh, Mike Reese
help me be a thief
and then together we'll hide out

think long Mike Reese
what is the worst thing
the absolute worst thing that could go wrong
you know, if we get caught
this town's so small we'll just end up sharing a cell
or we could get shot
collapse back to back amongst money piles
our lesson learned
our stories sharing the same title

but all of our grief
all of that luxury
would together be found out

(so long Mike Reese)

so long Mike Reese
I guess that I should say that now
unless you can promise me that you'll follow through
that your character is sound
and of the people of the town
simple hearted folk always get bailed out
just tell your wife
just tell your kids
you had to be with someone else

cause all of that grief
all of that luxury
I could not bear
no I could not bear by myself

(so long Mike Reese)
