[00:00.12]One more drink 'fore he split town, pulled up in a rose pink cadillac
[00:06.94]He was singin' with the top down girl from the north, Dylan and Johnny Cash
[00:12.83]He won the car on a card game listenin' to The Boss, he keeps his clothes in a gunney sack
[00:18.87]She said, "Tell you what sailor, if you take me outta here, I'll do anything that you ask
[00:24.81]'Cause I don't wanna die like the people down here but I feel that I'm fading fast."
[00:36.35]He looked over to her chestnut hair, he said "I don't believe in love."
[00:41.99]But he knew good and well she was the only girl there, so he figured it was close enough
[00:53.13]And they hopped in the car, rolled the windows down far, and they headed through the desert plains
[00:59.19]And she didn't even mind when they crossed the state line and the sky opened up with rain
[01:05.16]And they went three states 'fore they even spoke a word, he leaned over just to ask her name
[01:11.16]She said, "Take me to the 61 highway, sailor, and you can call me Queen Jane
[01:17.11]'Cause the only thing I stole from the town was a crown that I took from a beauty queen."
[01:28.59]And he looked over to her deep green eyes, knew that she was just as cold as him
[01:34.57]So he went to the trunk, grabbed the pistol from inside, and told Janey of his plan
[01:45.30]And they went to the store she put the gas in the car, he came out running with a case of beer
[01:51.12]And he jumped in the back with the money in the sack and Janey she took the wheel
[01:57.00]And they ran off in a blaze in a sweet summer haze, to the bullets of the cashier
[02:03.03]"You keep your head down sailor 'cause I might need ya' later, just holler if you can hear
[02:08.89]'Cause I'm gonna need a man, not a farmer girl tan and a cadillac souvenir."
[02:20.56]And they camped out by the railroad bridge, and they made love all night
[02:25.82]Watched the sun come up over Mercury Ridge, from a hilltop outta sight
[02:43.03]They hit five more banks and their small-town safes and they knew that they could get out fast
[02:49.05]Had the time of their life but they had to have a talk, 'cause they knew that it couldn't last
[02:55.01]They made friends with the man at the Mexico border, and they left him with a bag of cash
[03:00.71]She said, "I tell you what, sailor, I don't care about that paper but I'm happy that we passed
[03:07.05]'Cause I'm feeling pretty tired and I'm carrying a child and we both need a rest."
[03:18.71]And they settled down to a house near the water, where they would live to be old and grey
[03:24.64]And many years later and the kids are all older, and they tell 'em 'bout the good ole' days
