                     Inlaw With an Outlaw

I met a girl in New York City-looked so fine and talked so witty
Seemed to be the kinda girl I’d like to get to know-
I asked her out she said “alright” I said “how ‘bout tomorrow night”
she said “O K but my surprise some place we gonna go”

Next night I picked her up at her place-knew we’d have a great date
What she’s got in store for us I just can’t wait to know
She told me to fill up the tank and stop there at her local bank
“Just need to make a fast withdrawl”she said “and then we’ll go” next thing I

heard a noise like firecrackers she comes runnin’ out with sacks of money
and a preacher who’d been walkin’ out the door- they both jumped in she
grabbed the wheel and gunned the gas-the tires squealed –
She looked at me and winked “this is a first for you I’m sure”

“You see that S and L done stole my money-now I stole it back and honey
took a little interest just to even up the score-“
“Now preacher here can marry us and we’ll be sure to have enough
just got to keep on movin’ so they never catch us”-so now I’m

Inlaw with an outlaw—don’t’ think I can recall-
when I had so much fun just wish she’d put away the gun now that I’m
Inlaw with an outlaw-never thought I’d be called –to take this kind of ride
it’s like she’s Bonnie and I’m Clyde now that I’m inlaw with an outlaw

We drove all night clear out of town where much to my surprise we found
she had an airplane waitin’ just to take us all away-and
In her little one-propeller says to me
“You lucky fella-you got me and all this money-now let’s get away”

Now flyin’ high and I discovered just how good she’s be my lover
thought I’z with an angel in the clouds that lucky day
I threw my caution to the wind and like a fool just to jump in
I hope we didn’t cause a sin-I never planned to be-but now I’m

Inlaw with an outlaw—don’t’ think I can recall-
when I had so much fun just wish she’d put away the gun now that I’m
Inlaw with an outlaw-never thought I’d be called –to take this kind of ride
it’s like she’s Bonnie and I’m Clyde now that I’m inlaw with an outlaw
