Hit and Run

What a dark day for a bright girl run down
Just a hop, skip, and a jump from town
Tuesdays are tedious
It’s early in the week for tempting fate
But you were looking for a reason to celebrate
Look what you did, boy
Look what you’ve done
Did you get away with murder
On a hit and run?
Like an itchy trigger finger
On the trigger of a gun
And best of all
Ain’t nobody witnessed
Up at dawn on the very next day
Shot of courage in your coffee
'Cause you like it that way
With a lipstick cheek
And a light at the end of the week
Ain’t nobody witnessed
Time puts a bandage on a memory
Softening the sins you’ve left behind
Leaving you with nothing but your peace of mind
Look what you did, boy
Look what you’ve done
You dodged another bullet
On a hit and run
Like an itchy trigger finger
On the trigger of a gun
And best of all
Ain’t nobody witnessed
It’s another day
Shot of courage in your coffee
'Cause you like it that way
With a lipstick cheek
And a light at the end of the week
Still nobody witnessed
Time keeps tick-tick-tick-tick-ticking
Waiting on the devils and the liars and the birds of prey
Look what you did, boy
Look what you’ve done
As you’re knocking back the remedies
Those black birds waiting
For the scream of your dishonor
'Cause after all
Ain’t nobody witnessed
If there is a hell to pay
You drowned every demon
Every bird of prey
But you never did believe it
Any of it anyway
And best of all
Ain’t nobody witnessed
Ain’t nobody witnessed
Ain’t nobody witnessed
