Four dead strings
On a six string guitar
Playing Jimmy Buffet covers
In an Ohio bar
There I met you slinging drinks
Filling up the tip jar
I felt like Clyde with Bonnie
In my car
We were two dollar lighters
Blowing smoke in the sky
You don't think about tomorrow
When you feel that alive
We burn bright
Got away scot-free
Hijacking life
Doing time, you and me
All the little misdemeanors
Where I wish I could be
We stole that summer like a
Runaway thieves
And we loved, and we laughed
And it came on strong and
Went by too fast
We be just getting started
Come closing time
Sweep the floor, lock the door
Leave the world behind
Two villains on the run
Out searching for a thrill
With nothing to lose
And nothing but time to kill
We burn bright
Got away scot-free
Hijacking life
Doing time, you and me
All the little misdemeanors
Where I wish I could be
We stole that summer like a
Runaway thieves
Yeah, we stole that summer like a
Runaway thieves
Well the last I heard
She was livin' on the coast
That summer with her was the one
I love the most
And we loved, and we laughed
And it came on strong and
Went by too fast
We burn bright
Got away scot-free
Hijacking life, doing time, you and me
All the little misdemeanors
Where I wish I could be
We stole that summer like a
Runaway thieves
We stole that summer like a
Runaway thieves
We stole that summer like a
Runaway thieves
And we stole that summer
Runaway thieves
And we loved, and we laughed
And it came on strong and
Went by too fast
