We were 'bout as tight as we could be

Cooked peas in a pot, thick as theives

Never saw me without her

So much for the way things were

We blew up, she blew by

I ain't seen her since it all went south

She don't call, she don't swing by

She don't even know if I'm dead or alive



We were burnin' it up like Bonnie and Clyde

Takin' on the world, baby, side by side

Born to be together

And lettin' the good times roll

She changed her tune while I was busy strummin'

We got so close I didn't see it comin'

The hot time in this old town sure turned cold

Hell, now I couldn't touch her with a ten foot pole



Saw her momma at the store, she wouldn't speak

And her danged ol' daddy burned a hole through me

You won't know it if you seen us at the mall

That I was gonna be their son-in-law

It's almost like I never met her

She can write me off if it makes her feel better

Our love is dead but I didn't die

You can't take back that five year ride



We were burnin' it up like Bonnie and Clyde

Takin' on the world, baby, side by side

Born to be together

And lettin' the good times roll

She changed her tune while I was busy strummin'

We got so close I didn't see it comin'

The hot tme in this old town sure turned cold

Hell, now I couldn't touch her with a ten foot pole



We were burnin' it up

Like Bonnie and Clyde

Takin' on the world

Side by side

She changed her tune while I was busy strummin'

We got so close I didn't see it comin'

The hot time in this old town sure turned cold

Hell, now I couldn't touch her with a ten foot pole

With a ten foot pole,

Pole
