From the recording Kray Van Kirk - Live at the Acorn
Everyone gets to be the hero!! I was really nervous the first few times I played this, thinking that some people might get upset. I had a show in Unionville, MO and a gentleman was in the audience in a wheelchair. Afterwards, he and his wife came up, gave me their email address and asked to be sent the song as soon as it was recorded.
Lyrics
ROSA AND HECTOR
Kray Van Kirk
(c) Midnight Commander Music
Rosa couldn't walk too well
With her canes she sometimes fell
Hector'd roll up by her side
lock his wheels and offer her a ride
She would laugh or she would cry
At the looks from passersby
And late at night she'd say to him
Her voice was calm, but her manner grim
Robin Hood wore Lincoln Green
So that he would not be seen
Hidden as the Sheriff's men rode past
But we can hide as plain as day
No one sees us anyway
I'd really like to finally kick some ass
So Hector mapped a twisted road
And Rosa hacked some cyber code
For the plan they needed gold
The head on south down to Mexico
So to the bank that fateful day
To close accounts and drive away
Hector had his power chair
Bags and boxes, everywhere
Robin Hood wore Lincoln Green
So that he would not be seen
Hidden as the Sheriff's men rode past
But we can hide as plain as day
No one sees us anyway
And now we're off to finally kick some ass
But suddenly the bank was filled with smoke
Fire sprinklers pouring and the cameras were broke
rescue workers found them nervous,
hiding wet in Customer Service
Police arrived but let them go
Said they were harmless, soft and slow
A Sheriff drove them to the bus
And they headed South without a fuss...
"Oh, I really love this chair!"
Hector laughed as he declared
"Look at all the money it can hold!"
"A million dollars," Rosa smiled
"They overlooked us by a mile
And we're off to Sherwood with our outlaw gold!"
It's amazing, it's amazing, so amazing Eddy cried
How much this chair can hold, all the money stuffed inside
Your hack, my love, was brilliant, they missed us by a mile
I calculate a million cool, said Amy with a smile
So by the sea on warmer sands
Living quiet, holding hands
"Holla, mi amigos!" all the neighbors now exclaim
And everyone, everyone, everyone knows their names
Robin Hood wore Lincoln Green
So that he would not be seen
Hidden as the Sheriff's men rode past
But we can hide as plain as day
No one sees us anyway
It sure felt good to finally kick some ass
