Lyrics

Well, it’s a (D7)long way to Rich mond,

roll in’ north on Nine ty five.

With a (G7)red head rid in’ shot gun

and a pis tol by my (D7)side.

(A7)Tear in’ down that high way like a (C)mod ern day (G7)Bon nie and Clyde.

We (D7)met at a truck stop,

John son Cit y, Ten nes see.

I was (G7)gas sin’ up my Fire bird,

when I heard her call in’ me.

Said, “Which (A7)way are you head ed, boy?

Do you need some com pa ny?”

She had me stop pin’ at a Quik Mart,

be fore we made it out of town.

(G7)Next thing she was a run nin’ at me, tell in’ me to lay that ham mer down.

’Cause there’s a man right be hind me,

do in’ his best to slow me down.

Yeah, and it’s a long way to Rich mond,

roll in’ north on Nine ty five.

With a (G7)red head rid in’ shot gun,

and a pis tol by my (D7)side.

Such a (A7)Tear in’ down that high way like a (C)mod ern day (G7)Bon nie and Clyde.

Well, we rode up to a mo tel

in the mid dle of the night.

We were (G7)count in’ all the mon ey,

smok in’ stol en Marl b’ro Lights.

Lord, we (A7)nev er saw ’em com in’

till they read us both our rights.

Yeah, and it’s a mod ern day (G7)Bon nie and Clyde.

Yeah.
