What if I was Jesse James? Or had one of them outlaw names? Could you handle my Wild West games? Living on the run? What if we were Bonnie and Clyde With Tommy guns, runnin' from the blue lights And loving, living on the wild side Just for fun? Would you drive my getaway car?

This town's just a little black dot A quiet place that time forgot One light and a four-way stop On a two-lane road What if we hit the gas? Run away and never look back Hey, what you think about a fall like that? Baby, I wanna know Would you drive my getaway car? Chasin' dreams like a couple young hearts Hidin' out underneath the stars Would you drive my getaway car? Would you drive my getaway car?

Would you drive my getaway car? Whoa, whoa, whoa Whoa, whoa, whoa Whoa, whoa, whoa

No, nothin' good starts in a getaway car It was the best of times, the worst of crimes I struck a match and blew your mind But I didn't mean it, and you didn't see it The ties were black, the lies were white In shades of gray in candlelight I wanted to leave him, I needed a reason "X" marks the spot where we fell apart He poisoned the well, I was lyin' to myself I knew it from the first Old Fashioned, we were cursed We never had a shotgun shot in the dark (oh!) You were drivin' the getaway car We were flyin', but we'd never get far Don't pretend it's such a mystery Think about the place where you first met me Ridin' in a getaway car There were sirens in the beat of your heart Should've known I'd be the first to leave Think about the place where you first met me In a getaway car, oh-oh-oh No, they never get far, oh-oh-ah No, nothin' good starts in a getaway car It was the great escape, the prison break The light of freedom on my face But you weren't thinkin' and I was just drinkin' While he was runnin' after us, I was screamin', "Go, go, go!" But with three of us, honey, it's a sideshow And a circus ain't a love story, and now we're both sorry (we're both sorry) "X" marks the spot where we fell apart He poisoned the well, every man for himself I knew it from the first Old Fashioned, we were cursed It hit you like a shotgun shot to the heart (oh!) You were drivin' the getaway car We were flyin', but we'd never get far Don't pretend it's such a mystery Think about the place where you first met me Ridin' in a getaway car There were sirens in the beat of your heart Should've known I'd be the first to leave Think about the place where you first met me In a getaway car, oh-oh-oh No, they never get far, oh-oh-ah No, nothin' good starts in a getaway car We were jet-set, Bonnie and Clyde (oh-oh) Until I switched to the other side, to the other side It's no surprise I turned you in (oh-oh) 'Cause us traitors never win I'm in a getaway car I left you in a motel bar Put the money in a bag and I stole the keys That was the last time you ever saw me (oh!) Drivin' the getaway car We were flyin', but we'd never get far (don't pretend) Don't pretend it's such a mystery Think about the place where you first met me Ridin' in a getaway car There were sirens in the beat of your heart (should've known) Should've known I'd be the first to leave Think about the place where you first met me In a getaway car, oh-oh-oh No, they never get far, oh-oh-ah No, nothin' good starts in a getaway car I was ridin' in a getaway car I was cryin' in a getaway car I was dyin' in a getaway car Said goodbye in a getaway car Ridin' in a getaway car I was cryin' in a getaway car I was dyin' in a getaway car Said goodbye in a getaway car

He takes off his hat Says "The world moves too fast No, it sure ain't how it used to be" There's lines on his face His hands shake with age Oh, but he's still a mountain to me Just like fine wine and leather He only gets better The more that he's weathered and worn No, they don't make Cowboys like that anymore He had boots for work And boots for church And a pair just for dancin' with girls He had a stubborn side We call Texas pride Taught me you're only as good as your word Never run from a battle Been thrown from the saddle He'd get up and go back for more No, they don't make Cowboys like that anymore Oohh Dust and dirt Family first And he still loves the old country songs Stripes and stars Hand to heart For the brave and the free and the strong He is sawdust floors Swingin' doors And a gambler that ain't gonna quit And with everything I am I'll do the best that I can Just trying to live up to him He's never run from a battle Been thrown from the saddle He'd get up and go back for more Just like fine wine and leather He only gets better Oh the more that he's weathered and worn No, they don't make Cowboys like that anymore No, they don't make Cowboys like that anymore
