Casey Joe Collins - 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
