John Wesley Harding - Ordinary Weekend

I lost my job on Friday, I went drinking to forget
My luck it had been down so long but I could change it yet
Sat down and strted talking with some guy sitting there
He bought me drinks all afternoon until I didn't care
He said was I in need of work, some money could be found
I said "Is it above the law?" He said "It's underground"
I said "I need the paycheck now, I got debts here and there"
He smiled and asked if I could drive and I said "Anywhere"
Anywhere...

In this weekend of ordinary dreams
Everything was not just as it seems
Take a look around at the faces in the crowd And you'll see wehre I've been


We met up on the Saturday, I thought it was us two
But I had not asked quetions not knowing what to do
Twelve of them were in the van, thirteen including me
Twelve pairs of eyes were staring back at me, suspiciously
And so I just sat down and drove, took them to some track
And drove past the security guard while they hid in the back
They made me stop, and got out there, and I heard a couple of shots
I hoped they were in self-defense but I knew that they were not
They were not...
