Shane was shaken but his purpose was more inspired
Well, they saved her life, they were just in time
Fame and love will never die
And it looked so fine till the vandals sprayed it over
And maybe that's why we forget those lines he told her
Saying, Shane this time
We'll be household names if we only dare, forever
She tears her hair
Shane said to Dixie, we're getting nowhere
But I've a fine idea if you love me, swear
He'd end up likely at the end of a noose
But this victory is only halfway won
Which was fine by Shane if the papers could use the story
Then we'll be happy till the end of time together
Fame and love, fame and love
Dixie looked bad but her heart beat faint but surely
And she turned her back on a life of crime
Fame and love, fame and love
Fame and love, fame and love
Fame and love will never die
Fame and love will never die
Fame and love, fame and love
You've lost your mind
Here's two bullets in my old Carbine
The money helped to pay for Shane's new grave
One is yours and the other is mine
Shane had the brain and Dixie had the looks for glory
And Dixie lay dying down there on the floor
As a bank robber, Shane really hadn't got a clue
They found the bodies when the neighbors complained
She screams, she swears
Shane was all over the walls like paint
Shane took aim with the 16-bore
Oh, the news of the screws most generously gave
And hid Shane's grave from the curious eye
And she married the man who came to type out her story
Time went by and the weeds grew high
Shane said, Lord what have I done
Then he put the barrel underneath his tongue and fired
