Steal a Mule Lyrics
Well there�s a moon shining bright
Little partner, let's light a fire tonight
Rob a bank, steal a mule
Little partner, we�ll be nobody�s fool
And we�ll run like heroes run
Yeah we�ll run when the mornin� comes
Many men on our tail
Little partner, run �fore we go to jail
And if they catch you, have no doubt
Little partner, I�ll come and break you out
And we�ll run like heroes run
Yeah we�ll run when the mornin� comes
Oh we�ll run with the mornin� sun
Yeah we�ll run like heroes run
(whistling)
Many moons have gone by
Little partner, sometimes I wonder why
People turn and betray
Little partner, someday I�ll come your way
And we�ll run like heroes run
Yeah we�ll run when the mornin� comes
Yeah we�ll run with the mornin� sun
Yeah we�ll run like heroes run
Like heroes run, like heroes run, like heroes run, like heroes...
Little partner, let's light a fire tonight
Rob a bank, steal a mule
Little partner, we�ll be nobody�s fool
And we�ll run like heroes run
Yeah we�ll run when the mornin� comes
Little partner, run �fore we go to jail
And if they catch you, have no doubt
Little partner, I�ll come and break you out
Yeah we�ll run when the mornin� comes
Oh we�ll run with the mornin� sun
Yeah we�ll run like heroes run
Little partner, sometimes I wonder why
People turn and betray
Little partner, someday I�ll come your way
Yeah we�ll run when the mornin� comes
Yeah we�ll run with the mornin� sun
Yeah we�ll run like heroes run

This is NOT the meaning, but it reminds me of best friends in high school; doing stupid shit together, one gets caught, the other figures out a way to save his/her ass.
Although I'm not positive, I think Damien Rice wrote this specifically for the film 'Mickybo and Me.' And that's basically what it's about: two little boys who are best friends and get into trouble together but the turmoil in N Ireland eventually alienates them from eachother. Brilliant film, brilliant song - I only wish I could get my hands on it.
Yeah, I agree. The lyrics are too perfect for the film to not have been written especially for it. Such a cute song, and, even though I'm a massive Damien Rice fan, I wish he'd include more stuff like this and 'Cross-Eyed Bear' on his albums. It's absolutely lovely.
