(the Ballad Of) Bonnie And Clyde Lyrics - Social Distortion

Bonnie was a waitress in a small cafe 

Clyde Barrow was the rounder that took her away 

They both robbed and killed until they both died. 

So goes the Legend of Bonnie and Clyde. 

The poems that she wrote of the life that they led 

Told of the lawmen left dying or dead 

Some say that Clyde made her life a shame 

But the legend made Bonnie the head of the game. 

The rampage grew wilder with each passing day 

The odds growing smaller with each get-a-way 

With the end growing closer the harder they fought 

With blood on their hands they were bound to get caught. 

They drove back from town on one bright summer day 

When a man they befriended stepped out in the way 

With no thought of dyin' they pulled to the side 

But death lay there waiting for Bonnie and Clyde.
