I'm In Hot Water

I wrote these lyrics for a song that I have a tune in my head for but haven't played and recorded anything yet. - A. Skunk Ape


I stole a car ‘cause I got tired of walkin’
I flipped a bird when I saw a lady gawkin’
I got no time for just foolin’ around
I got to keep my two feet on the ground

I’m in hot water
I didn’t do what I oughta
Now the sheriff’s after me
Will they ever let me be?
I’m in hot water

I robbed a bank ‘cause I needed some money
To buy a really nice gift for my honey
I didn’t know that they got me on tape
So before I got caught, I had to escape

I’m in hot water
Just for a gift that I bought her
Now the sheriff’s after me
Will they ever let me be?
I’m in hot water

Embezzled cash when I worked at the cleaners
I figured they would just be misdemeanors
If I got caught by the old guy that owned it
I’d just say that I thought that he had loaned it

I’m in hot water
They put me on the crime blotter
Now the sheriff's after me
Won’t they ever let me be
I’m in hot water

Now the sheriff's after me
Won’t they ever let me be
I’m in hot water

Oh yeah, I’m in hot water
I’m in hot water!

Sort:  

I liked it, Rap, country, punk rock, or hillbilly style for the music? maybe a lullaby style, ha ha ha. Maybe a good southern rock style like Charlie Daniels "Devil went down to Georgia".

It would probably fit best in the country rock genre, so yeah, somewhat like a Charlie Daniels type song. I'm glad you like it, and thank you for checking it out.
