Reckless Kelly › Lyrics › Sixgun

Sadie got a six gun, she ain't afraid to use it
The banker took us straight down to the safe and I blew it
The sheriff heard a big bang in the broad daylight
And by the time the smoke cleared, we were nowhere in sight

Sadie got an Mustang an old '64
Sadie got the top down and her foot to the floor
Lights in the rearview got the fuzz on our tail
Better give me that scattergun, baby I ain't goin' back to jail

Sadie got a hideout, off of 71
We'll count up all the money, ditch the car and the guns
Sadie says she loves me, I'll always be her man
"And I'll see you in Rio honey, we gotta stick to the plan"

I woke up in the hayloft to the rooster's crow
No sign of Sadie, no sign of the dough
I'm heading to the airport, I got a little brass key
I got a ticket and a passport, locker 32-B

Open up the blue box, there ain't nothing inside
I been played like a fiddle, I've been taken for a ride
Sadie made a phone call in the middle of the night
They've got the place surrounded with the black and white

I got myself a hostage in a Delta skirt
"Do as I tell you and nobody gets hurt
Show me where your car's parked, you're gonna have to drive
'Cause I'll be hiding in the backseat with a .45"

"Get me through the roadblock better drive real slow
Better play your cards right and I'll let you go"
And I hear my heart a pounding as fast as it can
I hear the copper askin', "Have you seen this man?"

Delta kept her mouth shut like a good girl should
"And you're free to go now, 'cause you done real good"
Now I got a suitcase and a thumb in the air
I don't know where I'm goin' and I don't really care

Bubba's got a big rig and an empty seat
We're headin' to Laredo it's alright with me
I'll check into a hotel in old Mexico
I gotta wait until it cools down, I'm gonna lay a little low

Well, I don't miss the money, I don't miss the guns
Well, I sure miss Sadie even after all she's done
Yeah, Sadie left me hanging and she told a lotta lies
Well, it's true what they say boys true love never dies

True, true love
True, true love
