Lyrics

Well it's a long way to Richmond, rollin' north on 95
With a red head ridin' shot-gun 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 gasin' up my Firebird when I heard her calling me
Said, "Which way are you headed boy? Do you need some company?"
She had me stoppin' at a quick mart before we made it out of town
Next thing she was runnin' at me tellin' me to lay that hammer down
'Cuz there's a man right behind me doing his best to slow me down
Yeah, well it's a long way to Richmond, rollin' north on 95
With a red head ridin' shot-gun and a pistol by my side
Tearin' 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 countin' all the money, smokin' stolen Marlboro Lights
Lord we never saw 'em coming, till they read us both our rights
Yeah and it's a long way to Richmond, rollin' north on 95
With a sheriff right beside me, pistol pointed at my side
Such a disappointing ending for this modern day Bonnie and Clyde, yeah
