Well you heard the ballad of Jesse James how he robbed that Glendale train But that don't compare to the do-or-dare of the famous Barrow Gang They're crooks and killers the papers say and society drags 'em down Calls 'em low-life scum no better than mud and they run 'em right out of town And I said hey pretty honey of mine ride along with me We'll shoot the night just to stay a-right Till we climb up the hanging tree So when you leave your house shut the garden gate Tell your mother and your father not to stay up late We're gonna fight for our freedom right down to the day we die Well it was gas-filling stations convenience stores to those home-spun County banks We took 'em all both great and small steering clear of the cell block tanks You can feel the freedom of the open road blowing smoke rings out of your hair But you'll never find a feeling that's more alive than throwing lead through the gravelly air And I said hey pretty honey of mine what are you gonna do 'Cause there's a gas-can man with a rifle in his hand Gonna blow you to Waterloo She said I told you twice and I'll say it again I'm not a cooped-up chicken or a huckleberry hen Gonna fight for my freedom right down to the day we die It was roundabout the spring of '34 we were skirting state border lines Oklahoma, Mississippi, Creole Country, Kansas City, Dallas, and the Great Divide But in the gun-light's gleam I could see in her eyes as she stood in the barn door-way Saying Clyde I know it's a coal-black road gonna send you to Judgment Day And I said hey pretty honey of mine tell me and tell me true If you could take it all back would you walk the right track And obey them boys in blue She said I walk a road paved with regret But the Law don't forgive and it'll never forget We're gonna fight for our freedom right down to the day we die I know we're not that smart or desperate love the law it always wins We've been shot before but we can't ignore that death is the wages of sin Some day we'll ride to the end of the trail and they'll bury us side by side For your ma there'll be grief, for the law relief, but it's death for Bonnie and Clyde And I said hey pretty honey of mine life can lend you a bitter taste When the whole world's view of the gutter and you has got you feeling like a human waste We're not the people that they think see and we've payed our debts to society We're gonna fight for our freedom right down to the day we die
