Joe Purdy - Outlaws

^DmOne more drink 'fore he ^Csplit town, pulled up in a rose ^Fpink Ca^Bbdillac ^DmHe was singin' with the top down ^Cgirl from the north, Dy^Flan and Jo^Bbhnny Cash ^DmHe won the car on a card game lis^Ctenin' to The Boss, he keeps his c^Flothes in a gunney ^Bbsack She said, &q^Fuot;Tell you what sailor, if you tak^Bbe me outta here, I'l^Cl do anythin^Dmg that you ask, F Bb C F Bb-F 'Cause I don't wanna die like the people down here but I feel that I'm fading fast."

^CHe looked over to her c^Dmhestnut hair, he said &q^Fuot;I don't believ^Bbe in love." ^CBut he knew good and well she was the ^Bbonly girl there, so he fi^Fgured it was c^Bblose enough

^DmAnd they hopped in the car, rolled the ^Cwindows down far,and they ^Fheaded through the desert pla^Bbins ^DmAnd she didn't even mind when they cros^Csed the state line and the ^Fsky opened up ^Bbwith rain ^DmAnd they went three states 'fore they e^Cven spoke a word, he leaned o^Fver just to ask her nam^Bbe She said, &q^Fuot;Take me to the 61 highway, sailo^Bbr, and you can call ^Cme Queen Jan^Dme, F Bb C F Bb-F 'Cause the only thing I stole from the town was a crown that I took from a beauty queen."

^CAnd he looked over to h^Dmer deep green eyes, knew^F that she was just^Bb as cold as him ^CSo he went to the trunk^Dm, grabbed the pistol fro^Fm inside, and told^Bb Janey of his plan

^DmAnd they went to the store she put the ^Cgas in the car, he came out r^Funning with a case of ^Bbbeer ^DmAnd he jumped in the back with the ^Cmoney in the sack and ^FJaney she took the ^Bbwheel ^DmAnd they ran off in a blaze in a sw^Ceet summer haze, to th^Fe bullets of the ca^Bbshier

"You ke^Fep your head down sailor 'cause I mi^Bbght need ya' later, ^Cjust holler ^Dmif you can hear, F Bb C F Bb-F 'Cause I'm gonna need a man, not a farmer girl tan and a cadillac souvenir."

^CAnd they camped out by ^Dmthe railroad bridge, and^F they made love al^Bbl night, C Dm F Bb Bb-Bb-Bb Watched the sun come up over Mercury Ridge, from a hilltop outta sight.

^DmThey hit five more banks and their ^Csmall-town safes and they kne^Fw that they could get ^Bbout fast ^DmHad the time of their life but they^C had to have a talk, 'cause t^Fhey knew that it could^Bbn't last ^DmThey made friends with the man at the M^Cexico border, and they le^Fft him with a bag of c^Bbash

She said, &q^Fuot;I tell you what, sailor, I don't^Bb care about that pap^Cer but I'm h^Dmappy that we passed, F Bb C F Bb-F 'Cause I'm feeling pretty tired and I'm carrying a child and we both need a rest."

And ^Cthey settled down to a ^Dmhouse near the water, wh^Fere they would live to be old and ^Bbgrey And ^Cmany years later and th^Dme kids are all older, an^Fd they tell 'em 'bout the good ole' ^Bbdays.
