Lyrics
The Out-of-Towners
© Spud Davenport
She tells me I'm the man of her dreams
and I believe
She tells me no way she'd ever leave
well, Hey Ho / I couldn't say "No"
We bought a gun in Tupelo
and she tells me
"We're gonna have fun"
We steal a car ever-so clever
and I'm doin' whatever
she tells me
She tells me there's easy money
in the next town
She tells me she won't let me down
well, Hey Ho / I didn't say "No"
We robbed a bank in New Mexico
and she tells me "Job well done"
We pull away in a cloud of smoke
and I laugh at a joke
she tells me
We got red lights right behind us
No worries our love will guide us
Goin' seventy she looks at me
blows me a kiss and
jumps out the door
Judge tells me he'll be easy on me
if I give her up
'n' I tell him "This is open 'n' shut!"
well, Hey Ho / She's down in Rio
I got twenty years with no parole 'cuz
I did whatever
she tells me
She tells me
'n' I believe
what she tells me
