Jimmy And Annie Lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed

Jimmy was a small town kid 

The only thing that he ever did 

Was cross that south side railroad track 

Annie was a small town girl 

Wanted so bad to see the world 

Get on a train and never look back 

(chorus) 

Throw caution to the wind don't ever turn your head 

Cause in the end we'll all be dead 

Make 'em open up their ears and listen to your song 

It don't matter whose right or wrong 

Headed fast out of town West on 51 

Half a pack of cigarettes and a glove compartment gun 

Runnin' a little short on gas she said I'll step in and pay 

Got a pocket full of cash and they made their getaway 

(chorus) 

Arizona sun sinking slowly in the sand 

Got a bag of twenty bills and a sack of contraband 

Steppin' down on his foot give this thing some gas 

The lights in the rearview mirror are coming on us fast 

Just like the wind here cane the end 

They never saw it come 

Jimmy knew his fate was sealed when Annie grabbed her gun 

The same old broken story 

I know you've heard it too 

They went out in a blaze of glory with a hand held .22 

(chorus)
