You got the bullets
I got the gun
I got a hankerin'
For gettin' into somethin'

I hit the bottle
You hit the gas
I heard your '65
Could really haul some ass

I'm feelin' frisky
You're feelin' good
I guess the whiskey
Is doin' what it should

I got the cigarettes
You got a lighter
And when the sun goes down
We'll start a little fire

Ain't no use in tryin'
To slow me down
'Cause you're runnin'
With the fastest girl in town

Ain't your baby
I like 'em crazy

My reputation
Follows me around
Just makes me wanna give 'em
More to talk about

Let's go to town
For a little while
I'll be wearing nothin'
But a tattoo and a smile

Ain't no use in tryin'
To slow me down
'Cause you're runnin'
With the fastest girl in town

Ain't your baby
You're kinda crazy

Come on!

I feel the blue lights
We better run
Throw out the bottle
And I'll have the gun

If he pulls us over
I'll turn on the charm
You'll be in the slammer
And I'll be on his arm

Ain't no use in tryin'
To slow me down
'Cause you're runnin'
With the fastest girl in town

Ain't your baby
Well I told ya I was crazy
No, I ain't nobody's baby

Huh!

He's got the bullets
He's got a gun
I got the hankerin'
For gettin' into somethin'
