[Instrumental Intro] [Rhythmic flow with syncopation] Verse 1 Met her in Texas, heat on the floor Empty pockets, trouble at the door He had a gun and a dream too wide She had a smile said I ain’t afraid to ride Verse 2 Banks were closed but the hunger stayed Dust on the road, deals half-made They stole the night, they stole the day Every mile just another sin to pay Chorus Bonnie wrote poems, Clyde drove fast Love in the mirror, bullets in the past They didn’t run from right or wrong They ran together — that’s all along Verse 3 Cheap motels, whiskey and lies Headlights cutting through alibis Law on their back, blood on their name Fame came quick, mercy never came Verse 4 She held his hand when the sirens cried He said baby, we don’t get out alive Morning broke on a Louisiana bend Road said stop — that was the end Chorus (repeat) Bonnie wrote poems, Clyde drove fast Love in the mirror, bullets in the past They didn’t pray, they didn’t hide They chose the road — Bonnie & Clyde Bridge No heroes here, just flesh and fear Two young hearts, no future near History loves a tragic flame Burns it bright, forgets the pain Outro Now the car’s still rusting under southern skies Silence where the engine died If you hear this blues on a lonesome ride That’s love still running — Bonnie & Clyde
