Honey I Hardly Knew Ya, by Andy Hunt

Well it all started 15 years ago
In a small town deep in snow
You dropped out of school
And moved in with me
Four flights up a cold water flat
Before the TV we sat
Blissed out on sex and smack
And you were just a kid I guess
You scared me some and I confess
Before long you called the shots not me

Refrain: Oh honey I hardly knew ya, now we're in this together
Oh honey I hardly knew ya, now we're in this together

And so then to fulfill the need
Devised a plan were we'd be freed
From the shoplifting and other petty crimes
One day with our arms raised
The people ran our guns ablaze
It looked just like it did on TV
And an armored car having just arrived
We took hme a handsome prize
And filled up our shopping bags an[d] pockets

Refrain: Oh honey I hardly knew ya, now we're in this together
Oh honey I hardly knew ya, now we're in this together

Well I wish then we'd just
Buried the cash and lived off
What we could find in the trash
And slept out beneath the stars
And grown our hair out so you could
Not tell if we were bad or good
And wait for the dust [to] settle

Refrain: Oh honey I hardly knew ya, now we're in this together
Oh honey I hardly knew ya, now we're in this together

Instead we went out on a spree
Bought a house in Missouri
And lived up there in the hills together
Yeah we lived up there like movie stars
And drove a great big shiny car
You had minks and pearls draped
All around you
And no one knew where we'd come from
Or much less that you carried a gun
Stuffed up inside your silken stockings

Refrain: Oh honey I hardly knew ya, now we're in this together
Oh honey I hardly knew ya, now we're in this together

Then one day the knock at the door
Their must have been a hundred or more
Camped out in the woods all around us
And just before the bullets flew
I took your hand and looked at you
I could tell you['d] rather die
Than go to prison
It was all I could do to help [my]self
To pull that holster off the shelf
And try and go out in a blaze of glory

Refrain: Oh honey I hardly knew ya, now we're in this together
Oh honey I hardly knew ya, now we're in this together

No happy ending no Hollywood script
Could stop the blood coming from your lips
As I kissed you one more time before dying
And the newspaper[s] say we threw it all away
Just to be kind and queen for a day
But I do it all again if you were in it

Refrain: Oh honey I hardly knew ya, now we're in this together
Oh honey I hardly knew ya, now we're in this together
