I was mindin' my own business down on Deep Street The sun was comin' up and the was singin' sweet When a car come the corner, long and lean and brown up to the curb beside me and rolls their window down A man me a dollar and I asked him what's that for A pack of Luckies and a Paper at the corner store I peer into the window there's a man and a woman Holy Jumpin' Bolts of Lightnin' it's Bonnie and Mr. Clyde
I made a joke about Lucky that I never should've used Their patience was proportional to the shortness of their Bonnie's pretty trigger finger was twitchin' by her side And Clyde was cleanin' his fingernails with a foot long Bowie I 'em back the Cigarettes and the Dallas Mornin' Sun I 'em they made the papers front page and column one Ah, we need no smart-assed kid actin' as our guide Now just run like you never seen, Miss Bonnie and Mr. Clyde
