Steal Me Away
- Kate Reid
One
day I was driving through town
My
friend Auto sitting next to me
She
piped up, ÒI used to live in these parts
I
used to hang out down at the mall
I'd
lean against the wall and smoke cigarettes
And
watch all the pretty girls walk by
But
this one girl in particular
She
caught my eye
She
was a vision out of a magazine
She
was like nothing I had ever seen before
She
was fast and furious
She
was tough and mean
She
wasn't like the other girls I knew
She
was the queen of the five-finger discount
She
could lift anything from any store
And
I swore that I would make her mine
Chorus:
Oh
Andy, steal me away - 2x
Well,
Andy had the stickiest fingers in town
She
was mighty handy with her hands
She
dropped out of high school a while back
But
she was a class-act kleptomaniac
I
offered her a cigarette
She
declined and pulled out her own
She
said, ÒBaby, I don't need nothing from you
Except
maybe a partner in crimeÓ
Chorus:
Oh
Andy, steal me away – 2x
Bridge:
She
was Thelma and I was Louise
But
we got away in every getaway scene
She
was Bonnie and I was Clyde
She
was my crooked valentine and our love never died
She'd
hook her thumbs in the hip pockets of my
Favourite faded 501's
I'd
kiss her on the lips for good luck
On
those hot, summer parking lot nights
She'd
pick the store and pick up the goods
I'd
stand inside and be the lookout guy
We'd
jump the turnstile and start running
We'd
keep running till we were out of sight
Chorus-strumming:
Oh
Andy, steal me away - 4x
