lyrics

He worked 4 tens and 3 twelves
Always kept a picture of St. Christopher on a shelf
Didn't have a whole lot just two doors and a set of wheels
Underneath it all he tried to keep it real
He took his pills for the pain chased with his checks
Passing those with everything he didn't feel like himself
He pulled it slow in to the lot of a well-kept bank
Walked in and up to the counter and his heart sank

Mariana went to bed with bitter grace
Mariana painted her nails the color of a rusty Chevrolet

He played it out in his head how it could work
Her eyes would shift and no one would get hurt
He wouldn't have to pull a gun she wouldn't call the cops
Her hands would pass over the money like a train when it stops

He would meet her minutes later by the side door
St. Christopher on the dashboard his foot on the floor
A wad of cash in the glove box her eyes on him
His mind somewhere else where her accent fit in

Maybe they'd reach the Sierra Madres maybe just the Ogilvies
She said "Have a nice day" but he was too far out of reach
