[Verse 1]
[Am]One more drink 'fore he [G]split town,
Pulled up in a [C]rose pink cadillac
[Dm]He was singi[Am]n' with the top
down [G]girl from the north,
[C]Dylan and Johnny [F]Cash
He won the [Am]car on a card game
[G]listenin' to The Boss,
He keeps his [C]clothes in [Dm]a gu[F]nney sack
She said, [C]"Tell you what sailor,
if you [F]take me outta here,
I'll do [G]anything that you [Am]ask,
[C]'Cause I don't wanna die
like the [F]people down here
But I [G]feel that I'm fading fast."

[Interlude 1]
[C]

[Verse 2]
[G]He looked over to her [Am]chestnut hair,
He said [C]"I don't believe [F]in love."
But he [G]knew good and well she
was [Am]the only girl there,
So he [C]figured it was close enough
[F]

[Verse 3]
And they [Am]hopped in the car,
rolled the [G]windows down far,
And they [C]headed through the
desert [Dm]plains
And she [Am]didn't even mind when they
[G]crossed the state line
And the [C]sky opened up with [F]rain
And they [Am]went three states 'fore they
[G]even spoke a word,
He leaned [C]over just to ask [F]her name
She said, [C]"Take [F]me to the 61 highway,
sailor,
And you [G]can call me Queen [Am]Jane,
'Cause [C]the only thing I
stole from the [F]town
Was a crown that I [G]took from

[Interlude 2]
a beauty queen."
[C]

[Verse 4]
[G]An d he looked over to her
[Am]deep green eyes,
Knew that [C]she was just as cold as [F]him
So he [G]went to the trunk,
grabbed the [Am]pis tol from inside,
And told [C]Janey of his plan
[F]

[Verse 5]
And they [Am]went to the store she
put the [G]gas in the car,
He came [C]out running with a case of beer
[Dm]And he jumpe[Am]d in the back
with the [G]money in the sack
And [C]Janey she took [F]the wheel
And they [Am]ran off in a blaze in a
[G]sweet summer haze,
To the [C]bullets of the [Dm]cashier[F]
"You keep [C]your head down sailor
'cause I [F]might need ya' later,
[G]just holler if you can [Am]hear,
'Cause I'm [C]gonna need a man,
Not a [F]farmer girl tan and a
[G]ca dillac souvenir."
[C]

[Verse 6]
And [G]they camped out by the
[Am]railroad bridge,
And they [C]made love all [F]night,
Watched the [G]sun come up
over [Am]Mercury Ridge,
From [C]a hilltop outta sight.

[Interlude 3]
[F]

[Verse 7]
They hit [Am]five more banks
and their [G]small-town safes
safes
And they [C]knew that they could
get [Dm]out fast
Had the [Am]time of their life but they
[G]had to have a talk,
'cause they [C]knew that it
couldn't [F]last
They made [Am]friends with the man
at the [G]Mexico border,
And they [C]left him with a bag [F]of cash
She said, "I [C]tell you what, sailor,
I don't care [F]about that paper
But I'm [G]happy that [Am]we passed,
'Cause I'm [C]feeling pretty tired
And I'm [F]carrying a child and we
[G]both need a rest."
[C]

[Verse 8]
And [G]they settled down to a [Am]house near the water,
Where they [C]would live to be old and [F]gray
And [G]many years later and the kids [Am]are all older,
And they [C]tell 'em 'bout the good ole' days.
