From the recording A Long Way From Graceland
Lyrics
Long Gone Dead
We been runnin’ shine, since the day we could drive
Crossing state lines, committing crimes
In a beat up rusty ride, racin’ for our lives
From the hoodoo voodoo law biding FBI
Wheelin’ and a dealin’ hell on wheels
With devil dogs nippin’ at our heels
Thick as thieves, cool as a breeze
Until we’re long gone dead
Thick as thieves, runnin’ free
Until we’re long gone dead
One last job while the gang is still alive
Then off into the sunset we will ride
Get a new disguise, ditch the car & hide
Keep one step ahead killin’ time
Wheelin’ and a dealin’ hell on wheels
With devil dogs nippin’ at our heels
Thick as thieves, cool as a breeze
Until we’re long gone dead
Thick as thieves, runnin’ free
Until we’re long gone dead
Come the light of day, they found our hideaway
Surrounded and out numbered one to eight
Like the story books say, you gotta pay to play
With guns blazin’ we ran to meet our fates
Wheelin’ and a dealin’ hell on wheels
With devil dogs nippin’ at our heels
Thick as thieves, cool as a breeze
Until we’re long gone dead
Thick as thieves, runnin’ free
Until we’re long gone dead
Until we’re long gone dead
Until we’re long gone dead
Until we’re long gone dead
