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 2:
|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.
