We caught the train a'comin'
Jumped on around the bend
Can fin'lly see the sunshine
Me and my 'Scapee friend..
Just busted out a' Folsom,
Them bloodhounds howl and moan
C'mon choo choo keep a'rollin'
On down to San Antone..

I'm set ta' meet my honey,
She's holed up for me there
Almost taste her kisses,
She's gonna' love her "Bear"
I ain't never killed no-body
But will bid them goodbye.."
If they ever try to take me
I won't go back, I'll die !

Got candy bars for munchin'
From an early mornin' bar
Some Styrofoam cup coffee
And Jim Beam in a jar..
This baggage car is crowded,
But we ain't sharin' drinks
So, scootch over, Mr. Samson-
While I grab 40 winks..

Well, I found my baby, Cindy
Way out on the edge a' town
A Motel Six, secluded,
And plumb wore out her new nightgown
Stole a car next mornin'
Headed for New Orleans
While my partner, Ed's a' drivin'
I'm stretchin' Cindy's jeans..

So, we hit a few gas stations,
Stockin' up on cash and gas
Ed gets a little nervous
When a Trooper starts to pass
We cut off at an exit,
The law man gives a chase
And we wind up on a dead end
Spotlight in our face..

I hear that Trooper barkin' orders,
But my mind's not thinkin' straight
Ed pulls out his revolver,
I fire off my Magnum eight
Have a little shoot out,
Glass shatters, feel a thud
Well, I'd like to finish this song,
But I can't stop the bloooooo.......
