When the temperature is below zero

What do you think about it

When he was through he put the bottle in a jacket

With six more from the rack
Eb (x1)

Stumbled into the alley for some fun and

Some money And some crackerjack

Wipe that goddamn smile off face

I'll blow a hole your wife can't mend

Stuck my gun into his ribs

I'm glad I left the bullets where I did

Just don't say nothing
Eb
Don't say nothing

Walked down the street

Snow is falling down

Twenty bucks he took, Left one buck

You can move in it, just be my guest
Gm
Wipe that motherfucker off that
Eb
I own that Cadillac
F                 Eb
God what did I do

[Ending]
Gm
A girl I haven't seen in years
Eb
Waved to me, I held my tears
F
She thought my shirt it must have been stuffed
Eb                       Eb
It's hard to wave in handcuffs
