People, men specifically are easily seduced, but there are serious dangers involved, maybe with a bit of luck, if we change the way we live, we might get away with it...

lyrics

Long Legged Woman

Well i'm a worried man in formal dress
Planning my next move, I'm in readiness
To do what I have to do, before I'm blown away
I've been mess in' with a woman whose another man's wife
I'm standing in the open I'm in fear of my life
Should I run or should I put up a fight
Chorus
Well my life has darkened like a window in the night
There's a joker on my left, there's a clown on my right
One's got a knife, one's got a blue metal gun
There's wall behind me there's no where to run

Verse
The woman's a bit crazy she's been acting strange
Sh'e been this way since she came home from Spain
Like the day she disappeared out the back of the cathedral door
We'd been meeting at our secret rendezvous
When she made some excuse about something to do
I saw her walking with a man wearing fine Italian shoes
chorus

Now I'm standing by the wall like a condemned man
Thinking that life hasn't worked out as planned
Cause I always like those long legged women with a crooked smile
And I like easy money and a well cut suit, I like the lush life, the taste of forbidden fruit
Like the long legged woman of a dangerous man
Chorus

Well the guy he raised his blue metal gun
As the knife came spinning out of the sun
I fell to my knees - I was resigned to my fate
I heard a shot and a scream of pain
The guy with the knife took a bullet in the brain
And the gun man had a knife sticking out of his unwholesome chest
chorus

I couldn't believe my stupid luck
So I rode out west in a pick-up truck
And his for awhile, where the wind blows tall
I did some adjustment of how I lived my life
I got me a wild rose wife
And forgot about that long legged woman with the crooked smile
chorus
