Liner Notes

An account of an armed robbery at a grocery store I worked at

Lyrics

The man was there
A gun was pointed
I was feeling
All disjointed

"Gimme cash!"
He spoke so harshly
"There isn't much"
I whispered scarcely

"Hand it over!"
Shaking the gun
I only wanted
To up and run

It all was over
In a flash
And then the robber
Left at a dash

I stood there shaking
Out of my wits
And vowed that day
That I would quit

It isn't worth it
For this small pay
To risk my life
Every day

Once again I really enjoy your lyrics and way with words! Even with a more serious/scary situation here you keep the flow snappy while including great rhymes (pointed/feeling all disjointed was a great combo to start things off!). Nice work!
