lyrics

Our cabin's so lonesome tonight
The moon is full but it shines no light
The nightbird screams this can't be right
Why won't they set you
Free
I rolled out by the county jail
Wish I could go in and post your bail
But they'd bust me too and end our tale
And they still wouldn't set you
Free
You're my Bonnie I'm your Clyde
My gat-strapped sexy gangster bride
But without you by my side
I just cannot be
Free
We saw our poster up in town
We drank, we laughed and we shot it down
That night my precious queen was crowned
Why won't they set you
Free
Now our wanted poster is on the wall
And our guns are rusting in the hall
And soon they won't fear us at all
They gotta set you
Free
'Cause you're my Bonnie I'm your Clyde
My gat-strapped sexy gangster bride
But without you by my side
I just cannot be
Free
No I won't let them break you
My sweet gangster bride
I will not forsake you
We won't be denied
I called the posse tonight we fly
You'll hear our hoofbeats from on high
The sheriff and his boys will die
If they don't set you
Free
Kick in the walls and the guns will blaze
I'll lay that whole damn jail to waste
And when I finally see your face
I'll never set you
Free
