Great early snag dirt
In order of excellence, IMO:
Stealin’ — (Grateful Dead - “Stealin’, stealin’, pretty momma don’t you tell on me
I’m stealin’ back to my same old used to be”)
Born For Adventure — (Early but very dynamic Styx tune - “I am the thief of the highway”.
White Hot — (Red Rider - great tune! It’s about gun running, which I figure is close to stealing, anyway!
“Cast out from the jungle
With no rations or canteen
For selling faulty rifles
To the thieves in Tanzania”)
And already mentioned but the best of all, IMO, Stealin’, by Uriah Heep:
“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
Ooh, ooh, ahh, ahh, ahh
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”

Tangerine Dream....love them....
On Risky Business too
Those lines on what they would do to Caans wife if he does not do their bidding have always stuck with me
I just watched that and the finale on YouTube
Man that guitar solo at the end is Gilmouresque
Salute Michael Mann ....great filmmaker
Excellent ..
Its Main Street after midnight just like it was before
21 months later at the local grocery store
Sherry buys a paper and a cold 6-pack of beer
The headlines read that Sonny is goin’ to the chair
She pulls back onto Main Street in her new Mercedes Benz
The road goes on forever and the party never ends
Sort of obscure and not really about stealing but...

Oh man memories of my radical stupid youth
I do like how Jorma plays.....
What a Time-Jim Jackson
“Ain’t no point in me working hard
I got a woman in the white folks yard
She brings me chicken, she brings me pie,
I get some of everything the white folks buy”

She Got the Gold Mine, I Got the Shaft.
A little song about government stealing from The Beatles:
One, two, three, four, one, two
Let me tell you how it will be
There’s one for you, nineteen for me
‘Cause I’m the taxman, yeah, I’m the taxman
Should five per cent appear too small
Be thankful I don’t take it all
‘Cause I’m the taxman, yeah, I’m the taxman
If you drive a car, I’ll tax the street
If you try to sit, I’ll tax your seat
If you get too cold, I’ll tax the heat
If you take a walk, I’ll tax your feet
‘Cause I’m the taxman, yeah, I’m the taxman
Don’t ask me what I want it for
(Ah ah, Mr. Wilson)
If you don’t want to pay some more
(Ah ah, Mr. Heath)
‘Cause I’m the taxman, yeah, I’m the taxman
Now my advice for those who die (taxman!)
Declare the pennies on your eyes (taxman!)
‘Cause I’m the taxman, yeah, I’m the taxman
And you’re working for no one but me (taxman!)
