Just a little bit gun-shy, with a criminal mind
She came in like an animal and left like an innocent child
Now I'm stranded on empty, across nation lines
Clear night like a rosary against a dashboard light
Driving to you, Riviera
How long can you run?
Now the moon and the pavement are like noon daylight
Smokestacks and the gambling signs along the black horizon line
I once had a sister like you, lost on the other side
You run because you have to, from the firing lines
Shot into you Riviera, how long can you run?
Ain't it strange how the ones you steal, they keep you alive
How she could make you feel like you never been high?
I can't remember what was real - like a killer in denial
Careful to conceal every last line leading to you, Riviera
I deliver to you- the Riviera! How long can you run?
She came in like an animal and left like an innocent child

Big Head Todd and the Monsters

Big Head Todd and The Monsters is a rock band formed by Todd Mohr, Brian Nevin, and Rob Squires in 1986 in Colorado. The band has released several albums since 1989, with their 1993 album Sister Sweetly going platinum in the United States. The band has developed a sizable live following, especially in the Mountain States of the United States.
I wrote this 7 years ago and since then I've come to love Big Head. I've bought 3-4 albums and lots of tracks. But this was the song where I really 'got it' for the first time.
If it wasn't for Bill playing this track today I'd never have known they existed.
Thanks to all at RP. ❤️
Same here!
One of my favorite bands! Highly recommend seeing them live!
thank you Bill.
