Hey Mr. Trucker I'm a confidence man
side of the road paper bag in my hand
You turn the heat up
I'll rest my feet to keep the radio off I talk as smooth as I can
Could ya help me
to the closest little town to get a welcome taste of freedom
Would ya help me
before the radio announce just what the men who stole the key done..
(Chorus) I don't need to know where you're goin'
All I wanna know is if you're walkin' in the same direction
Me and Tucker had a wish and a plan
Still shared a chain when we split from the gang
We shook the guards but the widow took it hard
Cuz when the shackles hit the ground I stole a carpenter's van
Lord forgive me
for the trials and tribulations of our desperate little getaway
Oh forgive me
I'm an educated man without the time to find a better way.
(Chorus) I don't need to know where you're goin'
All I wanna know is if you're walkin' in the same direction
'Til they catch me 'til they catch me 'til they catch me
I'm your confidence man
Won't you help me...
