Matt & Audie

{Verse 1}
Matt and Audie were a few fine folk
Made love in the mornings with a few high hopes
They’d leave a note and they'd kick up dirt
In a town only good for part-time work

[Verse 2]
They bought an Astrovan and a loaded revolver
To head to Montana, where the weather's colder
They might steer south, where the river's red
Only thing they need now is each other or death

[Verse 3]
Matt went to work nearly everyday
And in one month's time, they’ll be on their way
Audie prepared the van, you see
For a getaway bound robbery

{Chorus}
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 turning, my hands are callused rock
I’d rather die a desperate man, than a man that got caught

{Verse 4}
He made it out alive and looked her in the eyes
And he told his lover, no more scraping by
We’re gonna be richer than the big machine
I'll buy you diamonds bigger than the stars at sea

{Chorus}
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, my hands are callused rock
I’d rather die a desperate man, than a man that got caught

{Outro}
Matt and Audie were a few fine folk
Made love in the mornings with a few high hopes
They stand so brave in a house out East
And tonight Audie's cooking herself a feast
