Stealin’ Songtext
von Uriah Heep

Take me across the water
′Cause I need some place to hide
I done the rancher's daughter
And I sure did hurt his pride

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ah-ah-ah
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ah-ah-ah

Well, there′s a hundred miles of desert
Lies between his hide and mine
I don't need no food, no water, Lord
'Cause I′m running out of time

Fightin′, killin', wine and women
Gonna put me to my grave
Runnin′, hidin', losin′, cryin'
Nothing left to save but my life


Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ah-ah-ah
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ah-ah-ah

Stood on a ridge and shunned religion
Thinking the world was mine
I made my break and a big mistake
Stealin′ when I should have been buying

All that fightin', killin', wine and those women
Gonna put me to an early grave
Runnin′, hidin′, losin', cryin′
Nothing left to save but my life
Life, life, life, life, life, life, life, life

So I stood on a ridge and shunned religion
Thinking the world was mine
I made my break and a big mistake
Stealin' when I should have been buyin′

I was stealin' when I should have been buyin′
I was stealing when I should have been buyin' (yeah)

(Stealin') when I should have been buying
(Stealin′) when I should have been buying
(Stealin′) when I should have been buying
(Stealin') when I should have been buying


(Stealin′) woo!
(Stealin') yeah
I was (stealin′) when I should have been buyin'
(Stealin′) oh, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

(Stealin') ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
(Stealin') rock and roll, alright
(Stealin′) rock and roll, alright
(Stealin′) babe, babe

(Stealin') should, should, should have been buyin′
(Stealin') should, should, should have been buyin′
(Stealin') should have, should have, should have been buying
(Stealin′) buying, yeah
Yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah
