Bonnie and  Clyde.

 

{Kick it in here}

[Verse: 1 ]                 

We met at a truckstop,  Johnson City, Tennessee,

I was gassin' up my Firebird, when I heard her callin' me,

Said, "Which way are you headed, boy, -- Do you need some company?"

 

[Verse: 2]

She had me stoppin' at a  Quik-Mart before we made it out of town,

Next thing she was runnin' at me, tellin' me to "Lay that hammer down,

'Cause there's a man right behind me,  doin' his best to slow me down!"

 

[Chorus]

[Verse:3]

Well, we pulled up to a motel, in the middle of the  night,

We were countin' all the money,  smokin' stolen Marlboro Lights, Lord,

We never saw 'em comin' 'til they read  us both our rights.

 

[Chorus alt]

 Yeah, and it's a long way to Richmond, rollin' north on

Ninety-five, With a sheriff right beside me,  pistol pointin' at my side,-- oh, lord, Such a disappointing ending for this modern day Bonnie and Clyde.

Yeah, D - G - D

Hey, G- D
