Lyrics
Well, it's a long way to Richmond
Rollin' north on 95
With a redhead ridin' shotgun
And a pistol by my side
Tearin' down that highway
Like a modern-day Bonnie and Clyde

We met at a truck stop
Johnson City, Tennessee
I was gassin' up my Firebird
When I heard her callin' me
Said, "Which way are you headed, boy?"
"Do you need some company?"

She had me stoppin' at a quick mart
Before we made it out of town
Next thing she was runnin' at me
Tellin' me to lay that hammer down
'Cause there's a man right behind me
Doin' his best to slow me down

Yeah, and it's a long way to Richmond
Rollin' north on 95
With a redhead ridin' shotgun
And a pistol by my side
Tearin' down that highway
Like a modern-day Bonnie and Clyde

Woo

Well, we pulled up to a motel
In the middle of the night (oh, yeah)
We were countin' all the money
Smokin' stolen Marlboro lights (oh, yeah)
Lord, we never saw 'em comin'
'Til they read us both our rights (oh, yeah)

Yeah, and it's a long way to Richmond
Rollin' north on 95
With a sheriff right beside me
Pistol pointed at my side
Oh, Lord
Such a disappointing ending
For this modern-day Bonnie and Clyde
Yeah

Whoa
Yeah
