He said, “I'm no saint, but I drive real fast,”
She lit her smoke and let the moment last.
In a rusted Ford with a broken tune,
They chased the dusk, outran the moon.
She wore her rouge with vows to sin,
He kissed her hand and pulled her in.
Bank vault dreams and pistol pride,
Two shadows dancing, side by side.
The papers called them devil’s kin,
But hearts still swooned for the mess they’re in.
With every score, the red ran deep,
But love like that don’t come cheap.
The law caught wind, the trap was set,
One last kiss, one last heist was met.
They went to the dawn in a blaze of lead,
Young and wild, now cold and dead.
So pour one out for the stolen ride,
For the doomed romance they couldn’t hide.
Some love burns fast, some love runs dry;
Theirs bloomed just long enough to die.
