One more drink 'fore he split town[00:00:01]
Pulled up in a rose pink cadillac[00:00:03]
He was singin' with the top down girl from the north[00:00:06]
Dylan and Johnny Cash[00:00:10]
He won the car on a card game listenin' to The Boss[00:00:12]
He keeps his clothes in a gunney sack[00:00:15]
She said[00:00:18]
Tell you what sailor[00:00:19]
If you take me outta here[00:00:20]
I'll do anything that you ask[00:00:22]
'Cause I don't wanna die like the people down here but I feel that I'm fading fast[00:00:25]
He looked over to her chestnut hair[00:00:36]
He said I don't believe in love[00:00:38]
But he knew good and well she was the only girl there[00:00:41]
So he figured it was close enough[00:00:45]
And they hopped in the car[00:00:52]
Rolled the windows down far[00:00:54]
And they headed through the desert plains[00:00:56]
And she didn't even mind when they crossed the state line and the sky opened up with rain[00:00:58]
And they went three states 'fore they even spoke a word[00:01:04]
He leaned over just to ask her name[00:01:08]
She said[00:01:10]
Take me to the 61highway[00:01:11]
Sailor[00:01:13]
And you can call me Queen Jane[00:01:14]
'Cause the only thing I stole from the town was a crown that I took from a beauty queen[00:01:17]
And he looked over to her deep green eyes[00:01:28]
Knew that she was just as cold as him[00:01:31]
So he went to the trunk[00:01:34]
Grabbed the pistol from inside[00:01:35]
And told Janey of his plan[00:01:37]
And they went to the store she put the gas in the car[00:01:44]
He came out running with a case of beer[00:01:47]
And he jumped in the back with the money in the sack and Janey she took the wheel[00:01:50]
And they ran off in a blaze in a sweet summer haze[00:01:56]
To the bullets of the cashier[00:02:00]
You keep your head down sailor 'cause I might need ya' later[00:02:02]
Just holler if you can hear[00:02:06]
'Cause I'm gonna need a man[00:02:08]
Not a farmer girl tan and a cadillac souvenir[00:02:10]
And they camped out by the railroad bridge[00:02:19]
And they made love all night[00:02:22]
Watched the sun come up over Mercury Ridge[00:02:25]
From a hilltop outta sight[00:02:28]
They hit five more banks and their small town safes and they knew that they could get out fast[00:02:42]
Had the time of their life but they had to have a talk[00:02:48]
'Cause they knew that it couldn't last[00:02:51]
They made friends with the man at the Mexico border[00:02:54]
And they left him with a bag of cash[00:02:57]
She said[00:03:00]
I tell you what[00:03:01]
Sailor[00:03:02]
I don't care about that paper but I'm happy that we passed[00:03:02]
'Cause I'm feeling pretty tired and I'm carrying a child and we both need a rest[00:03:06]
And they settled down to a house near the water[00:03:18]
Where they would live to be old and grey[00:03:21]
And many years later and the kids are all older[00:03:24]
And they tell 'em 'bout the good ole' days[00:03:27]
