Our cabin's so lonesome tonight
The moon is full but it shines no light
The nightbird screams this can't be right

Why won't they set you
Free
I rolled out by the county jail

Wish I could go in and post your bail
But they'd bust me too and end our tale
And they still wouldn't set you

Free
You're my Bonnie I'm your Clyde
My gat-strapped sexy gangster bride

But without you by my side
I just cannot be
Free

We saw our poster up in town
We drank, we laughed and we shot it down
That night my precious queen was crowned

Why won't they set you
Free
Now our wanted poster is on the wall

And our guns are rusting in the hall
And soon they won't fear us at all
They gotta set you

Free
'Cause you're my Bonnie I'm your Clyde
My gat-strapped sexy gangster bride

But without you by my side
I just cannot be
Free

No I won't let them break you
My sweet gangster bride
I will not forsake you

We won't be denied
I called the posse tonight we fly
You'll hear our hoofbeats from on high

The sheriff and his boys will die
If they don't set you
Free

Kick in the walls and the guns will blaze
I'll lay that whole damn jail to waste
And when I finally see your face

I'll never set you
Free
