Whatever you don't follow that shot,

she rang those words out with all she got


With a baby and the laundry in the Chevrolet,


Well he thought about following anyway

But he drove 'em to the strip mall laundromat,


In his three day beard and his red man hat


Trudy washed their bell bottom jeans, e

while that baby just sat ther lookin' mean





CHORUS:

Trudy and Dave


They're out of their minds


Trudy and Dave

They're out of their minds





Well David put a match to a Lucky Strike

And the smoke curled up 'round his head how he liked,


It made him feel a little mysterious


'Til Trudy said "David honey, what about us?"




So he thought about them and those shots ringing out


And other things he shouldn't be thinking about

Like how it wasn't them at all, just life that was mean


And how a twenty dollar pistol made him feel so clean




REPEAT CHORUS





Didn't mean to do it baby, but I did it for love



The same shot his Daddy heard before him

A shot that can really blow you away


And when it is fired his mama told him


"David, you'll follow it to your grave"




Well Trudy and Dave, those crazy kids


Had a baby of their own and you heard what they did

In the middle of a strip mall shots rang out


Shots heard all over the world no doubt




'Cause it was there in the paper the very next day

'Bout a couple and a baby and a Chevrolet


Who shot up an automatic teller machine

Took the money for the laundry and drove away clean




REPEAT CHORUS
