Trudy And Dave — текст песни (John Hiatt)

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, while that baby just sat there 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

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

CHORUS
