E
Riding North on Interstate 75
With a nervous fading beauty sitting by his side
AE
And a pistol that he used to pave the way
B7
Down the long black stretches of a dark highway
Verse 2:
E
Ray bought his future with a pound of lead
When he robbed a liquor store and left the clerk for dead
AE
That kid should have put the money in the sack
B7
But he didn't and now there ain't no turning back
Chorus 1:
AE
He's a desperate rider, he's a Jesse James
AE
The best that he could hope for is a household name
AE
There ain't nobody that a man can trust
B7E
When all his headlines read, notorious
AE
There ain't nobody that a man can trust
B7E
When all his headlines read, notorious
Verse 3:
E
They pulled out of ? about12 o'clock
Took the heatstroke with the lights off to avoid the road block

AE
Ray killed the motor at the county line
B7
Changed his Tennessee plates to a lost tag sign
Verse 4:
E
She would never ask what the boy had done
But said she'd be his hostage if he needed one
AE
Her momma raised her to be loyal and true
B7
And she figured that's the least that she could do
Chorus 2:
AE
She was lost and lonely on a midnight ride
AE
Reluctant Bonnie to a poorman's Clyde
AE
It ain't too easy when the man you love
B7E
Has got a reputation that's notorious
AE
It ain't too easy when the man you love
B7E
Has got a reputation that's notorious
Verse 5:
E
They were just outside of Knoxville when the lights flashed on
And the siren's starting howling like hell houndogs
AE
Ray popped that Firebird into overdrive
B7
And swore he'd never let them take him alive
Chorus 3:
AE
He was a desperate rider, he was Jesse James
Página 2 / 6
AE
The best that he'd ever hope for was a household name
AE
The morning papers didn't say too much
B7E
But his obituairy read, notorious
AE
The caption by his picture didn't say too much
B7E
But his obituairy read, notorious
AE
The caption by his picture didn't say too much
B7E
But his obituairy read, notorious
