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
