She picked me up in Colorado...and put me right in the driver’s seat.
F                                              A Bb
I said "I got no money...you know I got no job".
F                                                           Bb F

Now the man at the station's name was Jim...I saw it sewed on his shirt.

Crime of passion. A beautiful woman and a desperate man.

Well I thought the thing was over...she was countin' the cash.
F                                                        Bb F
When an unmarked Chevy Nova, made the blue lights flash.
F                                            A Bb
She said "officer? Would you help me please?"
F                                            Bb F
I looked at her...and she was pointin' at me.

Bb                                                                      D D#
You see Jim at the station played his part...he talked a little perjury.
Bb                                                                                 B C
