PARTNERS IN CRIME
(Written by Roger McGuinn / Jacques Levy)
Roger McGuinn
Dear Abbie I'd write you this letter
But your address is unknown
I'd tell you the world ain't no better
Since you left us all alone
Dear Abbie I wish they would let you
Come back to us again
And truly I hope they don't get you
And slam you in the pen
Partners in crime in the streets of Chicago
Where are they now they're all gone free
All love to see you and tell you hello
But you live in secrecy
I see where Tom is planning to join the government
And Rennie says this friend of his is probably Heavensent
Jerry's into threapy and says he feels content
Oh oh oh oh oh
Lee is back on welfare John's up in the east
Dave is still resistinh he hasn't changed the least
And Bobby could run Oakland if the prisoners were released
Oh oh oh oh oh
Dear Abbie I wish they would let you
Come back to us again
And truly I hope they don't get you
And slam you in the pen
Partners in crime in the streets of Chicago
Where are they now they're all gone free
All love to see you and tell you hello
But you live in secrecy
