@[ekwity:34934] hey thanks for the feedback! I hadn't heard the Fine angle before. Wikipedia didn't mention his dad. Do you have any other info I could read? |

After listening to this song about a million times and not understanding why he would cross his old man who is a bookkeeper I heard the real lyric, He's not saying "I crossed my old man" but "I crossed my _own_ man back in Oregon". This small change makes the meaning of the song perfectly clear. He didn't rob a bank with his father and then cheat him but his partner, his "own man". No wonder he doesn't want to get caught alive, he's a dead man either way. |
