The Legend of Bonnie and Clyde

The odds growing smaller with each get-a-way
So goes the legend of Bonnie and Clyde
But we'll always remember how they lived and died
So goes the legend of Bonnie and Clyde
For robbin' and killin' they both had to pay

The rampage grew wilder with each passing day
With no thought of dyin' they pulled to the side
With blood on their hands they were bound to get caught
They both robbed and killed until both of them died
The poems that she wrote of the life that they led

But the legend made Bonnie the head of the game
Two years or runnin' was ended that day
Some say that Clyde made her life a shame
But death lay there waiting for Bonnie and Clyde
When a man they befriended stepped out in the way
Told of the lawmen left dying or dead

They drove back from town on one bright summer day
With the end growing closer, the harder they fought
