Tupelo Sun

Blue lights flashed through the middle of the bar

I go sneaking out the back and I stole me a car

She saw me leave, she put a gun to my back

She said, "I'm coming too, boy, I'm already packed"

Lit up a smoke and she lowered her gun

She said, "Point this Ford toward the Tupelo Sun"

Next thing I know, we was hittin' a lick

Had ol' John Law beating down on our six

She stuck that Tommy Gun out of that Model A

She put 57 holes inside his Chevrolet

Wouldn't believed it if I wasn't there

So I just laid the hammer down and put some dust in the air

She's like a devil in a pretty dress

She's got ruby red lips and her hair's all a mess

She's a wildfire burning gasoline

And she knows how to work it if you know what I mean

Blood on her hands, she's ice cold singing

"Ain't misbehaving" as shells keep ringing

Passed a preacher up and he said, "God damn"

"Is that a Mississippi woman with a Louisiana man?"

Yeah, she's like a devil in a pretty dress

She's got ruby red lips and her hair's all a mess

She's a wildfire burning gasoline

And she knows how to work it if you know what I mean

Blood on her hands, she's ice cold singing

"Ain't misbehaving" as shells keep ringing

Passed a preacher up and he said, "God damn"

"Is that a Mississippi woman with a Louisiana man?" Yeah
