“Thelma and Louise is the idea that on the deathbed, the things people regret is not the things that they did – it is the things they didn’t do. It’s a song fantasizing about not always doing what you should”.
[Verse 1]
Let it burn, leavin' smoke, and take the cash
Then hurry back
And go tell your mother, "From the start, a hungry heart
Is doomed to break"
[Pre-Chorus]
Gold will be gold 'fore we get old
When we can still be really dumb
And leave no trace, lie to their face
Yeah, we'll just bite our tongue
[Chorus]
I know one day they will put us both six feet below the ground
And by then, all that is left are memories
So let's give 'em one hell of a story, put your foot right on the gun
And they can call us Thelma and Louise
[Verse 2]
And in the flames, I swear I heard a mockingbird
Calling my name
And from the dirt, something new will come on through
And rise again
[Pre-Chorus]
Gold will be gold 'fore we get old
When we can still be really dumb
We are blood brothers, don't tell the others
You know, mum's the word
[Chorus]
I know one day they will put us both six feet below the ground
And by then, all that is left are memories
So let's give 'em one hell of a story, put your foot right on the gun
And they can call us Thelma and Louise
[Bridge]
Gold will be gold 'fore we get old
When we can still be really dumb
And leave no trace, lie to their face
We'll just bite our tongue
[Chorus]
I know one day they will put us both six feet below the ground
And by then, all that is left are memories
So let's give 'em one hell of a story, put your foot right on the gun
And they can call us Thelma and Louise
[Outro]
So let's give 'em one hell of a story, put your foot right on the gun
And they can call us Thelma and Louise
