**************** NOTORIOUS *****************
Written and performed by Confederate Railroad.
Capo on the 1st fret.
Verse 1:
Riding ENorth on Interstate 75
With a nervous fading beauty sitting by his side
And a piAstol that he used to pave theE way
Down the long black stretches of a dark hiB7ghway
Verse 2:
Ray bouEght his future with a pound of lead
When he robbed a liquor store and left the clerk for dead
That kidA should have put the money in the Esack
But he didn't and now there ain't no turningB7 back
Chorus 1:
He's a desperaAte rider, he's a JesseE James
The best thAat he could hope for is a househoEld name
There ain't nAobody that a man canE trust
When all his hB7eadlines read, notorioEus
There aAin't nobody that a mEan can trust
When all his hB7eadlines read, notorioEus
Verse 3:
They pulEled out of ? about12 o'clock
Took the heatstroke with the lights off to avoid the road block
Ray kilAled the motor at the county linEe
Changed his Tennessee plates to a lost taB7g sign
Verse 4:
She wouEld never ask what the boy had done
But said she'd be his hostage if he needed one
Her momAma raised her to be loyal anEd true
And she figured that's the least that she coB7uld do
Chorus 2:
She was lAost and lonely on aE midnight ride
RelAuctant Bonnie to a poEorman's Clyde
It ain't tAoo easy when the man youE love
Has got a reB7putation that's notorioEus
It aAin't too easy when the mEan you love
Has got a reB7putation that's notorioEus
Verse 5:
They werEe just outside of Knoxville when the lights flashed on
And the siren's starting howling like hell houndogs
Ray popAped that Firebird into overdrEive
And swore he'd never let them take hB7im alive
Chorus 3:
He was a dAesperate rider, he wasE Jesse James
The best thAat he'd ever hope for was a househoEld name
The morning Apapers didn't say tooE much
But his obituB7airy read, notorioEus
The cAaption by his picture didn't sEay too much
But his obituB7airy read, notorioEus
The cAaption by his picture didn't sEay too much
But his obituB7airy read, notorioEus
