I can feel the life runnin' out of me Workin' here at pete's Two years ago it was just the thing Workin' cars part time every week I met 'em both at a drag race They both dressed pretty snappy that day Pete's wife peg, she put the make on me While pete just looked the other way
Now no one can say what your future may hold Or what your life will have in store We went home that night, pete passed out on the couch And then peg pulled me down on the floor Well, I know now she knew what she was doing Forbidden fruit, but what the hell, I bit That's all it took c cmy fate was sealed That night the flame was lit
Chorus: Every night when the lights go out Pete drinks his booze and then he passes out I hear a footstep outside my door And then I remember what I started working here for Peg and pete and me One and one and one make three Peg and pete and me One and one and one make three Now tell me what would you do If you were in my shoes?
Tonight, peg, we gotta stop this thing I don't know if we can Peg said, don't worry, now, pete's asleep And I've got a certain plan You know everything is in my name, she said And anyway I love you so very much He'll never feel a thing c cjust like he never woke up And after that it'll just be us
Chorus repeat
The next morning, when I woke up Peg was gone, the detective said Son, you gotta come downtown with me 'cause we know you killed pete dead The jury found me guilty And sent me up for ninety-nine to life And if there's any advice I can give from this cell Never trust a rich dead man's wife
Chorus: Peg and pete and me Peg and pete and me Peg and pete and me Peg and pete and me
