Pat Fortney - Jessy's Heist Lyrics

A sleazy bar in the back room
The juke box glow breaks the gloom
And I don't know how I wound up here
The tension is high and they smell the fear
And I'm not sure if I make it out of here

Jessie called me about three days ago
Said there was trouble and I ought to know
The word on the street is that they're looking at you
He wanted to know, man what did you do
They want a sit down man; they're crew and you

Switchblade Sammy sits on one side
Broke-nose Benny sits to my right
The big man himself sits across from me
He leans in and growls boy I'm not pleased
And you gotta know today you get squeezed

He leans back and nods at his goons
They smile back then they make their move
I know I'm about to pay a heavy price
When Jessie storms in man to save my life
I had to do it this way man; it was my heist

How could you let me take this wrap
When you knew all along that it was a trap
Jessie just smiled; said I had your back
I had to find a way to make them look the other way
While I schemed and planned to the end of their mob days

I had to find a way to end their mob ways
