Modern Day Bonnie And Clyde Lyrics By Travis Tritt

    walt aldridgejames leblanc

    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

    we met at a truckstop
    johnson city tennessee
    i was gassin’ up my firebird
    when i heard her callin’ memmm hmm
    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
    tellin’ me to lay that hammer down
    cause there’s a man right behind me
    doin’ his best to slow me down

    yeah and 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

    woo

    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

    yeah and it’s a long way to richmond
    rollin’ north on 95
    with a sheriff right beside me
    pistol pointed at my side
    oh lordsuch a disappointing ending
    for this modern day bonnie and clyde
    yeah

    whoa
    well
    woohoo
