    I crept into the warehouse

I took out all the coins

I snuck into your basement

in Bondurant, Des Moines;

I grabbed your little brother

I brought him to the street

I said "start dancing, cowboy"

and shot him in his feet.

I shot your little brother

I shot your mother too

I shot your baby sister

and she was only 2;

I walked her to the basement

her fingers on my thumb

I couldn't pull the trigger.

I snuck out of your basement

in Bondurant, Des Moines;

Your little brother's dancing

with all my stolen coins;

Your mother's hands are shaking

your sister's having fun

she finds her little daughter

up playing with a gun.
