John Hiatt - Trudy And Dave Lyrics
Whatever you don't follow that shot, she rang those words out with all she gotWith a baby and the laundry in the Chevrolet, well he thought about following anywayBut he drove 'em to the strip mall laundromat,In his three day beard and his red man hatTrudy washed their bell bottom jeans, while that baby just sat there lookin' meanTrudy and DaveThey're out of their mindsTrudy and DaveThey're out of their mindsWell David put a match to a Lucky StrikeAnd the smoke curled up 'round his head how he liked,It made him feel a little mysterious'Til Trudy said "David honey, what about us?"So he thought about them and those shots ringing outAnd other things he shouldn't be thinking aboutLike how it wasn't them at all, just life that was meanAnd how a twenty dollar pistol made him feel so cleanTrudy and DaveThey're out of their mindsTrudy and DaveThey're out of their mindsDidn't mean to do it baby, but I did it for loveThe same shot his Daddy heard before himA shot that can really blow you awayAnd when it is fired his mama told him"David, you'll follow it to your grave"Well Trudy and Dave, those crazy kidsHad a baby of their own and you heard what they didIn the middle of a strip mall shots rang outShots heard all over the world no doubt'Cause it was there in the paper the very next day'Bout a couple and a baby and a ChevroletWho shot up an automatic teller machineTook the money for the laundry and drove away cleanTrudy and DaveThey're out of their mindsTrudy and DaveThey're out of their minds
