Travis Tritt

Modern Day Bonnie And Clyde

Well it's a long way to Richmond,

Rollin north on 95.

With a redhead ridin shotgun,

And a pistol by my side.

Tearin down that highway,

Like a modern day Bonnie and Clyde.

Well 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?

She had me stoppin at a Quick Mart,

Before we made it out of town.

Next thing she was runnin at me,

Telling me to lay that hammer down.

Cuz there's a man right behind me,

Doing his best to slow me down.

And it's a long way to Richmond,

Goin north on 95.

With a redhead ridin beside me,

And a pistol by my side.

Tearin down that highway,

Like a modern day Bonnie and Clyde.

Well we rode up to a motel,

In the middle of the night.

We were countin all the money,

Smokin stolen Marlboro Lights.

Oh we never say it comin,

Til they read us both our rights.

And it's a long way to Richmond,

Goin north on 95.

With a sheriff right beside me,

Pistol pointed at my side.

Such a dissapointing ending,

For this modern day Bonnie and Clyde.
