Well it's a long way to Richmond,
Rollin' off 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 truck-stop,
Johnson City, Tennessee.
I was gassin' up my Firebird,
When I heard her call to me.
Said: "Which way are you headed, boy?"
"Do you need some company?"


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".
"'Cos there's a man right behind me,
"Doin' his best to slow me down."


Yeah, and it's a long way to Richmond,
Rollin' off 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 pulled upto a motel,
In the middle of the night.
We were countin' all the money,
Smokin' stolen Marlboro Lights.
Course, we never saw 'em comin';
'Til they read us both our rights.


And it's a long way to Richmond,
Rollin' off on 95.
With a sherriff ridin' 'side me,
Pistol pointed at my side, Oh Lord.
Such a disappointing endin',
For this modern day Bonnie and Clyde.

Yeah, ohhhh.
