LYRICS (courtesy of Jon Foreman):
I met a pretty girl the next town over
running like a river, thin and long
other than her dress
she looked mighty well depressed
so I asked this little lady what was wrong

she said, "all my life I've tried to be an outlaw
I've tried to spit and chew and steal and rob
but I ain't no good at thieven'
so I might as well be leaven
I think I'm off and go get a job"

I told the pretty girl, "don't be so foolish
don't be so quick to leave a life of crime
see I'll be quick to call it
you can practice on my wallet
and that way if you're caught you won't do time

just rob me!
just rob me!
A pretty face like yours don't come for free
If I can call you honey
well then you can take my money
so darlin keep your gun
and just rob me

I see the girl again a few months later
To see her with her gun was a relief
I said, "honey you've got attributes
like lace and lips and high heeled boots
but dearie your just no good as a thief"

She said, "Mister how do you know that I'm failin'
I might have robbed twenty banks today"
I looked into her eyes
and said, "Miss, I'd be surprised,
You're pointing that there gun the wrong way.

Just rob me
just rob me
money never did grow up on trees
see, you're no good at crookin
but you're mighty fine at lookin"
oh, honey take my money,
just rob me

maybe every woman is an outlaw
I'm pretty sure they're pretty thieves in black
they'll make you scream like smoke
and then they rob you broke
But I suppose don't mind being robbed like that

So my pretty thief and I started a family
yeah my outlaw's been given me inlaws
she kept her thievin art
sure as rain she stole my heart
but she tells me it's for a worthy cause

just rob me
just rob me
deep down my darlin' is a thief
oh, she may do the dishes
but I still pay her for my kisses
I know it's not malicious
she's just in the thievin business
she calls herself my Mrs.
but she's got me by the britches
I say honey
take the money
just rob me!

just rob me!
just rob me!
A pretty face like yours don't come for free
If I can call you honey
well then you can take my money
so darlin keep your gun
and just rob me
