"The Story Of Bonnie & Clyde" lyrics

You've heard the story of Jesse James
Of how he lived and died
If you want more here's the story of
Bonnie and Clyde
They call 'em cold-blooded killers
They say they're heartless and mean
But I knew Clyde
When he was upright and he was clean

Well the law they took him down
And locked him in a cell
He said to me "I'll never be free
So I'll meet them all in Hell"
The road was dimly lit
No highway signs to guide
We made up our minds
We wouldn't give up 'til we died

Bonnie and Clyde
Runnin' side by side
Bonnie and Clyde
Forever they will ride

(Yeah)

The road kept gettin' dimmer
'Til we could hardly see
We fight all we can, man to man
'Cause we know we can't be free
From heartache some have suffered
From weariness some have died
But all in all, your troubles are small
'Til you get like Bonnie and Clyde

Bonnie and Clyde
Runnin' side by side
Bonnie and Clyde
Forever they will ride

(Ow, yeah
Oh, yeah
Ha!)

We don't think that we're desperate
'Cause the law always wins
We've been shot at before but we don't ignore
That death is the wage of sin
Some day we'll go down together
And they'll bury us side by side
The law will be relieved, some will grieve
The death of Bonnie and Clyde
Bonnie and Clyde
Together side by side
Bonnie and Clyde
Forever they will ride

Bonnie and Clyde
Runnin' side by side
Bonnie and Clyde
Forever
Forever
Forever
They will ride

They will ride
That's alright
