Lyrics
For thirty-eight years my life had begun
I was never a man without holding a gun
Now all that I hold is regret and I'm too old to run
And for thirty-eight years I've not walked on grass
Living the life of my crimes from the past
But I'd give it all back just to lie in the arms of my love
Throw away shotguns, throw away sorrow
Live out of existence, turn good for tomorrow
I am a bank robber and a girl I desire
I've changed for the better, I'm not a damn liar
My name's Tommy Foster and all that I've robbed is my life
And for thirty-eight years I've seen grown men cry
And I've seen them come back time after time
And I hate them for having their chance, why can't it be mine?
And for thirty-eight years it's long since the stars
Shone into my eyes, not to care of my past
And the lady I love, you found the good in my heart
Throw away shotguns, throw away sorrow
Live out of existence, turn good for tomorrow
I am a bank robber and a girl I desire
I've changed for the better, I'm not a damn liar
My name's Tommy Foster and all that I've robbed is my life
It's three-thirty again, the head miles begin
And the window's too high and I can't see the sun
And I can't stop this pain so I think of you love
You showed me the way while others gave up
Oh you showed me the way to what I can become
Oh my name's Tommy Foster and all that I've robbed is my life
Oh my name's Tommy Foster and all that I've robbed is my life
