about

A ballad for Bonnie and Clyde. Inspired by her poetry.

lyrics

The killer inside of me.

I was born in East Texas
The son of a farming man
But when the earth turned to dust
We were driven from the land
We were driven from the land

My mother the strong one
Till she watched her children die
She lost her faith in the good book
And determined it was a lie
Determined it was a lie

There’s no place for a marked ones
In the town or factory
But I’ll never live by bankers rules
Working is not for me
No, working is not for me

With Eastham behind us
And a V8 under the hood
My Browning beside me
And whiskey to make it all good
Yeah whiskey to make it all good.

Chorus:
I’m the killer that you imagine
A stranger with no remorse
I damn you as you have damned me
Twas you that laid my course
Twas you that laid my course

A dusty Ford by the side of the road
we stop with a hand to lend
A hail of bullets from the sheriffs guns
and written was our end
Written was our end

They knew that you loved me
for they laid me by your side
In life I was your mistress
In death I’ll be your bride.
In death I’ll be your bride.

Chorus:
solo:
We’re the killers that you imagine
strangers with no remorse
I damn you as you have damned me
Twas you that laid my course
Twas you that laid my course
