Betty sue was walking to the local liquor store, ya

running from the law now which way you want to go


[CHORUS]
Em D C9 G (F#)
You and me babe, gonna get on out of this town
Been here for 15 years and I'm tired of waiting around
Wanna see the big country where we'll never be found
Say goodbye to yesterday


Rolling into Texas, found in amarillo cowboy hats and armadillo
running out of money yeah, you know we gotta go
Told the little girl fill the bag with cash, we'll be out of here real fast
jumped in my 76 and slammed it on the gas





Yeah we're going for the border, the cops are on our tail
She said, "I'd rather die today then spend my life in jail"

[CHORUS]
[SOLO]
sunrise we drove all night to the desert sand
by 5 and the bullets fly police catch me if you can
got everything little thing I need and a million to spare
hot damn its the rio grand, baby we're al..most..there

Yeah we're going for the border, the cops are on our tail
She said, "I'd rather die today then spend my life in jail"


[CHORUS]
Yeah!
I'm tired of waiting around
Say goodbye to yesterday - Gonna go all the way
