[Intro]
D x4
[Verse 1]
DWhatever you don't follow that shot,
Dshe rang those words out with all she got
DWith a baby and the laundry in the Chevrolet,
Dwell he thought about following anyway
DBut he drove 'em to the strip mall laundromat,
DIn his three day beard and his red man hat
DTrudy washed their bell bottom jeans,
Dwhile that baby just sat there lookin' mean
[Chorus]
GTrudy and DDave
GThey're out of theirD minds
GTrudy and DDave
GThey're out of their Aminds D
[Verse 2]
GWellD David put a match to a Lucky Strike
DAnd the smoke curled up 'round his head how he liked,
DIt made him feel a little mysterious
D'Til Trudy said "David honey, what about us?"
DSo he thought about them and those shots ringing out
DAnd other things he shouldn't be thinking about
DLike how it wasn't them at all, just life that was mean
DAnd how a twenty dollar pistol made him feel so clean
DDidn't mean to do it baby, but they did it for love
[Bridge]
BmThe same shot hisG Daddy heard befoAre him
BmA shot that can reGally blow you awAay
BmAnd when it is firGed his mama tAold him
Bm"David, you'll folGlow it to yAour grave" D
[Verse 3]
DWell Trudy and Dave, those crazy kids
DHad a baby of their own and you heard what they did
DIn the middle of a strip mall shots rang out
DShots heard all over the world no doubt
[Verse 4]
D'Cause it was there in the paper the very next day
D'Bout a couple and a baby and a Chevrolet
DWho shot up an automatic teller machine
DTook the money for the laundry and drove away clean
[Outro]
DMan, they’re crazy
DBut they did it for love
