D----------------------------A-------------------------Em
You leave the office all right, on a hot Friday night
----------------------------A---------------
There's a vodka in sight, going downtown
D-----------------------------A----------------------------------------Em
But in the dark Boston streets, you never know who you'll meet
-------------------------A--------------------
On the brick alleyways when you come round
D--------------------------------A-----------------------------Em
You see the black-suited guys, with their fedoras and ties
----------------------------------A-----------
From the newspapers, famous for violence
D---------------------------A---------------------------------Em
Just this one ugly time, you had to witness that crime
------------------------------------------A-----------
Then you ran, now they would kill for your silence

<chorus>
D---------------------------------------A---
Don't you think you're gonna leave me
----------Em--------------------A
Say don't look back, don't look back!
D----------------------------A
Don't you even try to free me
--------Em--------------------A---------
Say don't look back, don't look back!
D--------------------------------A---
If you do, they're gonna bleed me!
--------Em------------------A---------
Say don't look back, don't look back!
D------------------------------A---
I'm gonna go with you, believe me
------------Em---------------------A---------
In that train out West, that new day's calling

It's a Federal case, and the exposure is great,
say the men from the Bureau, we need you-
To point your finger in court, now we have to resort,
to put the killers away 'fore they kill you
But since their reach is so wide, into a program you'll hide
There's no contact with sisters or friends too
Kiss them goodbye on the cheek, but now it's your time to speak
Is there anyone who wants to come with you?

<chorus>

I'm gonna hop on the train, and get a strange new name
There's no choice in the matter I tell you
What kind of world would it be, here if if I couldn't see
all the teeth that you show when I smell you?
We'll build a family around a nice New Mexican town
Then after beers you'll your head on my shoulder
I'd rather take my chance now, so I won't have to know how,
how bad I'd want those things I'd miss when I'm older!
