Matt and Audie

Matt and Audie were a few fine folk Made love in the mornin's with a few high hopes They'd leave a note and they'd kick up dirt In a town only good for part time work They bought an Astro van and a loaded revolver To head to Montana where the weather's colder They might steer South where the river's red Only thing they need now is each other or dead Matt went to work nearly every day And in one month's time, they'll be on their way Audie prepared the van, you see For a getaway bound to robbery So, won't you load up this bag because my sweet Audie is tired? I promised her a life I swear to God, I'll fire 'Cause her stomach, it's keeps turnin' My hands are calloused rock I'd rather die a desperate man than a man that got caught He made it out alive and looked her in the eyes Told his lover, "No more scrapin' by We're gonna be richer than the big machine I'll buy you diamonds bigger than the stars at sea" So, won't you load up this bag because my sweet Audie is tired? I promised her a life I swear to God, I'll fire 'Cause her stomach, it keeps growlin' My hands are calloused rock I'd rather die a desperate man than a man that got caught Matt and Audie were a few fine folk Made love in the mornin's with a few high hopes They stand so brave in a house out East And tonight, Audie's cookin' herself a feast --- Matt And Audie - Zach Bryan
