What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Whatever you don't follow that shot, she rang those words out with all she got
2
With a baby and the laundry in the Chevrolet, well he thought about following anyway
3
But he drove 'em to the strip mall laundromat,
4
In his three day beard and his red man hat
5
Trudy washed their bell bottom jeans, while that baby just sat there lookin' mean
6
CHORUS:
7
Trudy and Dave
8
They're out of their minds
9
Trudy and Dave
10
They're out of their minds
11
Well David put a match to a Lucky Strike
12
And the smoke curled up 'round his head how he liked,
13
It made him feel a little mysterious
14
'Til Trudy said "David honey, what about us?"
15
So he thought about them and those shots ringing out
16
And other things he shouldn't be thinking about
17
Like how it wasn't them at all, just life that was mean
18
And how a twenty dollar pistol made him feel so clean
19
CHORUS
20
Didn't mean to do it baby, but I did it for love
21
The same shot his Daddy heard before him
22
A shot that can really blow you away
23
And when it is fired his mama told him
24
"David, you'll follow it to your grave"
25
Well Trudy and Dave, those crazy kids
26
Had a baby of their own and you heard what they did
27
In the middle of a strip mall shots rang out
28
Shots heard all over the world no doubt
29
'Cause it was there in the paper the very next day
30
'Bout a couple and a baby and a Chevrolet
31
Who shot up an automatic teller machine
32
Took the money for the laundry and drove away clean
33
CHORUS
