Bloody Kentucky Moonlight

The wife an' I had to get outa town seems we were on the run
We jus' hit a liquor store and that's where it all begun
We jus' need a little dough wasn't lookin' ta hurt no one
But this guy wouldn't let it go an' then reaches for his gun
So my crazy wife started a 'shootin' an' that guy starts a shootin' back
We left him there for dead an' escaped in his Cadillac.

Late that night we beat on south escapin' from the law
Stayin' in some fleabag place the only one we saw
We check the room and lock the door and then hit it for the night
When all a sudden we heard a shot followed by a flashin' red light.

We dropped to the floor and crawled to the window to see what we could see
There's five cop cars right out front adding to the complexity
We had a plan we'd stolen a car and hidden it in the trees
So we lit that place on fire and then escaped out back
But we left 'em a little surprise in the tank of the Cadillac
The place exploded into flames and we never once looked back.

Started to become some kind of spree in every town we stayed
We were havin' too damn much fun didn't care what we made
We were livin' life on the large takin' it as it came
Robbin' every goddamn one a' you and not one cent remained.

Traveled from town to town and robbin' along the way
We was gettin' so goddamn brazen took our time gettin' away
An' the number of people killed is gettin' bigger every day
There's a wanted poster on every post and damn near every tree
The way we saw it there was no end it's the way it jus' had ta be
An' there's no goddamn way we was goin' to the penitentiary.

Just had a shootout with the cops barely got outta town
They called the feds an' brought 'em in to help them hunt us down
So we killed a couple and left 'em there and slipped into the night
An' armed ourselves to the teeth an' got ready for the fight.

That kinda life jus' won't last ya know it's gonna turn out bad
So the wife an' I decided to give it all we had
So we ramped up the killin' an' stealin' an' both went a little mad
Started killin' jus' for fun and killed jus' a little more
There's a fire and a fever way down deep that jus' continues to grow
There's a lawless trail of blood follows us wherever we go.

The feds was comin' on close behind it was gonna be quite a fight
We jus' done torched up that town an' left it in the firelight
We're flyin' blind down them back roads the cops shot out our headlights
So hitting that our roadblock was our demise in Bloody Kentucky Moonlight.
