lyrics

It was back some time, along a highway side
They were headed south on a midnight ride
Well, little did they know it wouldn't be too long
Before the law caught wind of their highway song

They caught em in the middle of a lone star deal
Bags in the back with a broken seal

Well it was Jim who run and swinging his gun
Got a bullet in the back, no he ain't comin' back
Well Lucille did scream, she was makin' a scene
Until them boys got restless seemed a broken dream

It was too late for the tow in haul
Never would reach Grande Rio after all

But just right then, when there seemed no end
Little Lucille, she done stabbed O'Neil
All hell broke loose just when it looked like the noose
Half the gang was slain and the rest ran away

And they're runnin' today
Stuck out on that old highway
Their lives they've spent just getting lost
They won't pay, they won't pay
They won't pay, they won't pay
