“Bobby and Joanne”

When we go
When we go...
A few weary days and you were mine,
We drove as the plains, they touched to the skies.
Like two Sandhill Cranes on the Grand Island line,
Save me from sinking and pardon my lies.
When we go, wanna go like they did--
Thelma, Louise and Butch and the Kid.
Don’t leave me behind, don’t know where I’d go--
Wanna go out like Bobby and Joanne.
We were glad and happy when we met,
Not the outlaw love we’d stumbled upon, yet.
If we keep on driving west, the sun will never set--
God, don’t let her fly far away from me, yet.
When we go, wanna go like they did--
Thelma, Louise and Butch and the Kid.
Don’t leave me behind, don’t know where I’d go--
Wanna go out like Bobby and Joanne.
We’ll fly away, when we’re good and ready.
We’ll fly away, together like we said.
We’ll fly away, and don’t you forget it--
Where there is a shadow, there’s still adventure left. X2
Some glad morning, you by my side,
We’ll take us a drink or we’ll take us a drive.
We’ll take us a both so long as neither survives.
When this life is over you’ll still be mine.
When we go, wanna go like they did--
Thelma, Louise and Butch and the Kid.
Don’t leave me behind, don’t know where I’d go--
Wanna go out like Bobby and Joanne.
