lyrics

He sticks a ciggy in his crooked jaw
I ask him where he's stayin
and he takes a draw
he says, "Man, I'm stayin one step ahead of the Devil
and two steps ahead of the law.
And I gotta keep movin, cuz they're movin in.
Before I go to prison, I'ma get the most outta my sin."

He reaches over, grabs a bottle of Jag',
hands the barman a hundred, says "Keep the change."
Then he pours me a shot, he leans in close,
and says, "Before I go, I gotta make a toast."

The best decisions are the rash ones,
and the sweetest breath's the last one,
so if you're all livin fast ones,
let's take another shot
to the things that we'll forget
to the things we already forgot
let's take all we can get
then give it all we got

Back to the states, and I'm watchin TV
apparently there's been a bank robbery
They flashed his face, you shoulda seen what I saw
I swear to God he had a crooked jaw

The best decisions are the rash ones,
and the sweetest breath's the last one,
so if you're all livin fast ones,
let's take another shot
to the things that we'll forget
to the things we already forgot
let's take all we can get
then give it all we got
