Beg, Borrow, And Steal

My bones had grown restless, before I was seventeen So I left that town like I was methamphetamine I read a bunch of books about Frank and Jesse James Their life on the run and I figured I'd do the same I'll beg and borrow and steal I'll beg and borrow and steal I'll beg you for a minute, just a minute of your time And borrow this moment for a song or a line Maybe I'll steal a little place in your mind But you won't find me with your nickel or your dime I knew before the call came that'd you'd overdosed The folks back home call that the Holy Ghost You found your escape and you found it chemically I found mine chasing down this melody I'll beg and borrow and steal I'll beg and borrow and steal I'll beg you for a minute, just a minute of your time And borrow this moment for a song or a line Maybe I'll steal a little place in your mind But you won't find me with your nickel or your dime I've broken all my teeth, chewing on this guilt And living alone in the house that it built If I fall on my knees will you pardon my crimes? All my shortcomings and all my slant rhymes? I'll beg and borrow and steal I'll beg and borrow and steal I'll beg you for a minute, just a minute of your time And borrow this moment for a song or a line Maybe I'll steal a little place in your mind But you won't find me with your nickel or your dime
