Travis Tritt - Modern Day Bonnie and Clyde lyrics

Well it's a long way to Richmond

Rolling north on 95

With a redhead riding shotgun

And a pistol by my side

Tearing down that highway

Like a modern day Bonnie and Clyde

We met at a truckstop

Johnson City, Tennessee

I was gassing up my Firebird

When I heard her calling me

Said, "Which way are you headed, boy

Do you need some company?"

She had me stopping at a quick mart

Before we made it out of town

Next thing she was running at me

Telling me to lay that hammer down

'Cause there's a man right behind me

Doing his best to slow me down

Yeah, and it's a long way to Richmond

Rolling north on 95

With a redhead riding shotgun

And a pistol by my side

Tearing down that highway

Like a modern day Bonnie and Clyde

Well, we pulled up to a motel

In the middle of the night

We were counting all the money

Smoking stolen Marlboro Lights

Lord, we never saw 'em coming

'Til they read us both our rights

Yeah, and it's a long way to Richmond

Rolling north on 95

With a sheriff right beside me

Pistol pointed at my side

Oh, Lord, such a disappointing ending

For this modern day Bonnie and Clyde, yeah
