Modern Day Bonnie And Clyde - Travis Tritt
|Chorus 1:
|[D] Well it's a long way to Richmond,
|[G] Rollin' North on 9 [D] 5.
|With a [G] redhead ridin' shotgun,
|And a pistol by my [D] side.
|[A] Tearing down that highway,
|Like a [C] modern day [G] Bonnie and [D] Clyde.
Verse 1:
We [D] met at a truckstop,
[G] Johnson City, Tenne[D]ssee.
I was [G] gassing up my Firebird,
When I heard her callin' [D] me.
Said "Which [A] way are you headed boy?
[C] Do you [G] need some compa[D]ny?"
Verse 2:
She had me [D] stopping at a Kwik-Mart,
[G] Before we made it outta [D] town.
[G] Next thing she was runnin' at me,
Tellin' me to lay that hammer [D] down.
'Cause there's a [A] man right behind me,
[C] Doin' his [G] best to slow me [D] down.
|Chorus 2:
|Yeah, and it's a [D] long way to Richmond,
|[G] Rollin' North on 9 [D] 5.
|With a [G] redhead ridin' shotgun,
|[G] And a pistol by my [D] side.
|[A] Tearing down that highway,
|Like a [C] modern day [G] Bonnie and [D] Clyde.

Verse 3:
Well we [D] pulled up to a motel,
[G] In the middle of the [D] night.
We were [G] counting all the money,
Smoking stolen Marlboro [D] Lights.
Lord, we [A] never saw 'em comin'
[C] 'Til they [G] read us both our [D] rights.
|Chorus 3:
|Yeah, and it's a [D] long way to Richmond,
|[G] Rollin' North on 9 [D] 5.
|With a [G] sheriff right beside me,
|Pistol [G] pointed at my [D] side.
|Such a [A] disappointing ending,
|For this [C] modern day [G] Bonnie and [D] Clyde.
