Stealin' Lyrics

Take me across the water cause I need some place to hide
I done the rancher's daughter and I sure did hurt his pride
Haha

Well, there's a hundred miles of desert lies between his hide and mine
I don't need no food and no water, Lord, cause I'm runnin' out of time

Fightin', killin', wine and women gonna put me to my grave
Runnin', hidin', losin', cryin', nothing left to save
But my life

Stood on a ridge and shunned religion, thinking the world was mine
I made my break and a big mistake, stealin' when I should have been buyin'

All that fightin', killin', wine and those women gonna put me to an early grave
Runnin', hidin', losin', cryin', nothing left to save
But my life, life, life, life, life, life, life, life, life

So I stood on a ridge and shunned religion, thinking the world was mine
I made my break and a big mistake, stealin' when I should have been buyin'
I was stealin' when I should have been buyin'
I was stealin' when I should have been buyin'
Stealin' when I should have been buyin'
Stealin' when I should have been buyin'
Stealin' when I should have been buyin'
Stealin' when I should have been buyin'
Stealin' woo
Stealin' hahaha, yeh

I was stealin' when I should have been buyin'
Stealin', oh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh
Stealin', oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
Stealin', rock'n'roll, all right
Stealin', rock'n'roll, all right
Stealin' babe, babe
Stealin', should, should, should have been buyin'
Stealin', should, should, should have been buyin'
Stealin', should have, should have, should have been buyin'
Stealin', buying, yeah

What is the Meaning of Stealin'?

This classic rock track delves into themes of regret and the consequences of reckless decisions. The narrator recounts a life marked by impulsive actions, particularly stealing, which he later realizes should have been replaced by more thoughtful acquisitions or 'buying'. His adventures lead him to reflect on his life choices amidst the backdrop of a desert escape, suggesting a metaphorical journey away from past wrongs towards self-awareness. The repeated line "Stealin' when I should have been buyin'" serves as a poignant reminder of missed opportunities for making rightful decisions. #UriahHeep #RockMusic #LifeChoices
