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
