lyrics

You committed the perfect crime
When you stole my heart
I never suspected a dog gone thing
Right from the start
I didn't miss it for a minute
It wasn't all that hard to win it
You committed the perfect crime
When you stole my heart
I woke one day and found it missing
Wondering at the cost
You made off with quite a haul
And all I had was lost
Now it's too late to stop my fate
I wound up in a terrible state
You committed the perfect crime
When you stole my heart
You're a thief, you're a bandit
You're a crook, I just can't stand it
It's mine and you can't have it
How am I going to ever live without it?
Now I know how much it meant
The value of the wrong
It really wasn't worth that much
Until you came along
I'm the victim in this mayhem
Why does it seem I copped the real gem?
Now my life is so sublime
Since you stole my heart

The last 10 years the band has created original material with Mr's Wills and Tubb as inspiration.See below and enjoy! ... more
