Well it's a long way to Richmond
Rolling north on 95
With a redhead riding shotgun
And a pistol by my side
Tearing down that highway
Like a modern day Bonnie and Clyde

We met at a truckstop
Johnson City, Tennessee
I was gassing up my Firebird
When I heard her calling me
Said, "Which way are you headed, boy
Do you need some company?"

She had me stopping at a quick mart
Before we made it out of town
Next thing she was running at me
Telling me to lay that hammer down
'Cause there's a man right behind me
Doing his best to slow me down

Yeah, and it's a long way to Richmond
Rolling north on 95
With a redhead riding shotgun
And a pistol by my side
Tearing 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 counting all the money
Smoking stolen Marlboro Lights
Lord, we never saw 'em coming
'Til they read us both our rights

Yeah, and it's a long way to Richmond
Rolling north on 95
With a sheriff right beside me
Pistol pointed at my side
Oh, Lord, such a disappointing ending
For this modern day Bonnie and Clyde, yeah
