Sam Riggs - Daisy

Don’t look down on me Daisy

I just need a little more time


4 bald tires on a GTO

1/4 tank of rocket fuel ready to roll

Bandana cover up my face

Slide into the first city bank

With a slick black 357 I don’t wanna use



First shot rings out as I walk in through the door

Put the money in the bag everybody on the goddam floor

I know I saw you in the pew on Sunday

But then everything changed come Monday

That bright pink letter from the bank gave me nothing to lose


So don’t look down on me Daisy

I just need a little more time

I know my mama she been praying

Praying I make it out alive


Keep my sweaty finger pressed against that ice cold trigger

While that second hand counts down like a nine-pound hammer

Don’t be a hero keep your hands up high

Do what I say and we’ll be alright

While the sirens scream and time is running out

It’s too late to turn back now


Don’t look down on me Daisy

I just need a little more time

I know my mama she been praying

Praying I make it out alive


Face to face with a boy in blue

We both wore red when we were back in school

Now two Friday night small town stars

Couldn’t be farther apart

As time stands still and we both know what we’ve gotta do.


Don’t look down on me Daisy

I just need a little more time

I know my mama she been praying

Praying I make it out alive
