Текст песни Peg Pete And Me

I can feel the life running out of me working here at Pete's.
Two years ago it was just the thing working cars part time every week.
I met 'em both at a drag race, they both dressed pretty snappy that day,
Pete's wife Peg, she put the make on me while Pete just looked the other way.
Now no one could say what your future will hold or what your life will have in store,
we went home that night, Pete passed out on the couch and then Peg pulled me down on the floor.
Well I know now she knew what she was doing, forbidden fruit, but what the hell, I bit
that's all it took, my fate was sealed, that night the flame was lit.

[Chorus 2X]
Every night when the lights go out,
Pete drinks his booze and then he passes out.
I hear a footstep outside my door,
and then I remember what I stated working here for,
Peg and Pete and me,
one and one and one makes three

Now tell me what you would do,
if you were in my shoes,

"Tonight, Peg, we gotta stop this thing, I don't know if we can."
Peg said, "Don't worry now, Pete's asleep and I've got a certain plan."
"You know everything is in my name", she said, "and anyway, I love you so very much."
"He'll never feel a thing just like he never woke up and after that it'll be just us."

[Chorus]

The next morning when I woke up, Peg was gone, but detectives said,
"Son, you gotta come downtown with me, 'cause we know you killed Pete dead."

The jury found me guilty and sent me up for ninety-nine to life,
and if there's any advice I can give from the cell:
never trust a rich, dead man's wife.

Peg and Pete and me [5X]
