**************** NOTORIOUS *****************
Written and performed by Confederate Railroad.
Capo on the 1st fret.
Verse 1:
Riding NEorth on Interstate 75
With a nervous fading beauty sitting by his side
And a pisAtol that he used to pave the Eway
Down the long black stretches of a dark higB7hway
Verse 2:
Ray bougEht his future with a pound of lead
When he robbed a liquor store and left the clerk for dead
That kid Ashould have put the money in the sEack
But he didn't and now there ain't no turning B7back
Chorus 1:
He's a desperatAe rider, he's a Jesse EJames
The best thaAt he could hope for is a householEd name
There ain't noAbody that a man can Etrust
When all his heB7adlines read, notoriouEs
There aAin't nobody that a mEan can trust
When all his heB7adlines read, notoriouEs
Verse 3:
They pullEed out of ' about12 o'clock
Took the heatstroke with the lights off to avoid the road block
Ray killAed the motor at the county lineE
Changed his Tennessee plates to a lost tagB7 sign
Verse 4:
She woulEd never ask what the boy had done
But said she'd be his hostage if he needed one
Her mommAa raised her to be loyal andE true
And she figured that's the least that she couB7ld do
Chorus 2:
She was lAost and lonely on aE midnight ride
RelAuctant Bonnie to a poEorman's Clyde
It ain't toAo easy when the man you Elove
Has got a repB7utation that's notoriouEs
It aAin't too easy when the mEan you love
Has got a repB7utation that's notoriouEs
Verse 5:
They wereE just outside of Knoxville when the lights flashed on
And the siren's starting howling like hell houndogs
Ray poppAed that Firebird into overdriEve
And swore he'd never let them take hiB7m alive
Chorus 3:
He was a dAesperate rider, he wasE Jesse James
The best thaAt he'd ever hope for was a householEd name
The morning pAapers didn't say too Emuch
But his obituaB7iry read, notoriouEs
The cAaption by his picture didn't sEay too much
But his obituaB7iry read, notoriouEs
The cAaption by his picture didn't sEay too much
But his obituaB7iry read, notoriouEs
