Grand Ole Party - Shot in the Alley lyrics

There was a shot in the alley way I heard it from down stairs I think I saw a man running I think he went down there I had a mite little Bourbon I lit a cigarette I called you up on the telephone It seemed the safest bet Someone made a big mistake And now the cops are coming Sirens scorched the city streets Now everybody's running from the law I can't believe this has happened That man must be a wretch I bet he burned up the evidence I bet there's nothing left There was a fire out my window There was a car overturned Calf's cried opportunity A chance not to get burned
