Suicide Sal

[Verse 1]
Gettin' on the road again feelin' mighty low
Slidin' by like a rattlesnake just west of Texaco
I been keepin' quiet since old Clyde done flipped the car
Took a bridge they hadn't built and I might not ever walk

[Verse 2]
Papers say we're livin' large, but it's no life at all
We're wanted 'cross three states and we can't hardly stop for lunch
Tried to rest at a tourist court in the middle of July
We left with a bullet in Buck's head and glass in Blanche's eye

[Chorus]
They call me suicide Sal, but Honey I don't smoke cigars
It was just a joke, you know, and I never shot no one
Three years on the run, just about all a girl can do
Honey if you're goin' down, I'm goin' down with you

[Verse 3]
Hidin' in an old carnival when someone called the law
'Round and 'round like a carousel and Buck and Blanche got caught
Now they got a bounty on my head like all the rest
They're closin' in like death but, man, they haven't caught us yet

[Chorus]
They call me suicide Sal, but Honey I don't smoke cigars
It was just a joke, you know, and I never shot no one
Three years on the run, just about all a girl can do
Honey if you're goin' down, I'm goin' down with you

[Bridge]
Well I ain't so bad, no sir, I never laughed at death
I been thinkin' hard 'bout what I done and God I do repent

[Verse 4]
Through the pines of Louisiana, Clyde was drivin' fast
I took a long deep break who knew that it would be my last

[Chorus]
They call me suicide Sal, but Honey I don't smoke cigars
It was just a joke, you know, and I never shot no one
Three years on the run, just about all a girl can do
Honey if you're goin' down, I'm goin' down with you
