Trudy & Dave
John Hiatt

Whatever you don't follow that shot

She rang those words out with all she got

With a baby and the laundry in the Chevrolet

Well, he thought about following anyway

But he drove 'em to the strip mall laundromat

In his three-day beard and his red man hat

Trudy washed their bell bottom jeans

While that baby just sat there lookin' mean

Trudy and Dave

They're out of their minds

Trudy and Dave

They're out of their minds

Well, David put a match to a Lucky Strike

And the smoke curled up 'round his head how he liked

It made him feel a little mysterious

Till Trudy said David, honey, what about us?

So he thought about them and those shots ringing out

And other things he shouldn't be thinking about

Like how it wasn't them at all, just life that was mean

And how a twenty dollar pistol made him feel so clean

Trudy and Dave

They're out of their minds

Trudy and Dave

They're out of their minds

Didn't mean to do it, baby, but I did it for love

The same shot his daddy heard before him

A shot that can really blow you away

And when it is fired, his mama told him

David, you'll follow it to your grave.

Well, Trudy and Dave, those crazy kids

Had a baby of their own, and you heard what they did

In the middle of a strip mall shots rang out

Shots 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 Chevrolet

Who shot up an automatic teller machine

Took the money for the laundry and drove away clean

Trudy and Dave

They're out of their minds

Trudy and Dave

They're out of their minds
