Well I’m a gangster 1934 Junkies, Winos, Pimps & Whores And all you men, women and kids best get out the way I just left your town, took all your loot, bought a pink carnation and a pinstripe suit, a hopped-up V8 Ford and some two-tone shoes And I’m already gone, I left a pool of blood and sorrow I've got the Machine Gun Blues I’ll be out of here for the break of dawn, I'll hit the highway, smoke a big cigar, got to stop and bury the cash, and get some more There’s only one thing on my mind, that's making it across that ol' state line, Without a hail of avenging bullets, waiting there for me And I’m already gone, I've left a path of pure destruction, I've got the Machine Gun Blues I'm already gone, my life will soon be through, I've got the Machine Gun Blues I'm public enemy #1 I'm sorry for the things that I've done If indeed we do cross path, it's nothing personal And I’m already gone, I've left a trail of devastation, I've got the Machine Gun Blues I'm already gone, my life will soon be through, I've got the Machine Gun Blues
