I can feel the life runnin' out of me workin' here at Pete's
Two years ago it was just the thing
Workin' cars part time every week
I met 'em both at a drag race
The both dressed pretty snappy that day
Pete's wife Peg she put the make on me
While Pete just looked the other way

Now no one can say what your future will hold
Or what your life will have in store
We went home that night, Pete passed out on the couch
And then Pege pulled me down on the floor
Well I know now she knew what she was doin'
Forbidden fruit, but what the hell, I bit
That's all it took, my fate was sealed
That night the flame was lit

CHORUS
And every night when the lights go out
Pete drinks his booze and then he passes out
And I hear a footstep outside my door
And then I remember what I started workin' here for
Peg and Pete and me
One and one and one make three
Peg and Pete and me
One and one and one make three
Now tell me what would you do if you were in my shoes?

Tonight Peg we gotta stop p this thing
I don't know if I can
Peg said, "Don't worry, now Pete's asleep and I've got a certain plan.
You uknow everything is in my name," she said,
And anyway I love you so very much.
He'll never feel a thing...just like he never woke up,
And after that it'll be just us..."

CHORUS

The next morning when I woke up Peg was gone
But the detective said, "Son, you gotta come downtown,
'Cause we know you killed Pete dead."
The jury found me guilty
And sent me up for ninety-nine to life
And if there's any advice I can give fromhis cell
Never trust a rich, dead man's wife

CHORUS
