Matt & Audie were a few fine folk

Made love in the morning with a few high hopes

They'd leave a note and kick some dirt

In a town only good part time work

They bought an Astrovan and a loaded revolver

To head to Montana where the weathers colder

Or they might steer south where the rivers red

Only thing they need now is each other or dead

Matt went to work nearly everyday

And in one months time, they'll be on their way

Audie prepared the van, you see

For a getaway bound for robbery

So Won't you load up this bag

because my sweet Audie is tired

I promised her a life and I swear to God I'll fire

Cause her stomach it keeps growling

as my hands are callused rock

I'd rather die a desperate man than a man that gets caught

He made it out alive, and looked her in the eye

And he told his lover, "No more just scraping by

We're gonna' be richer than the big machine

I will buy you diamonds bigger than than the stars at sea"

So Won't you load up this bag

because my sweet Audie is tired

I promised her a life and I swear to God I'll fire

Cause her stomach it keeps growling

as my hands are callused rock

I'd rather die a desperate man than a man that gets caught

Matt and Audie were a few fine folk

Made love in the morning with a few high hopes

They stand so brave in a house out East

And tonight Audie cooking herself a feast

Matt and Audie were a few fine folk

Made love in the morning with a few high hopes
