Thelma and Louise Lyrics by Trish Murphy

Girls Get in Free

0

It was August of 'aught nothin'
Summer at its worst
We prayed for death or rainfall
Whichever one came first
Southeast of the caprock
A hundred and twelve degrees
Two girls were leaving Texas
Like Thelma and Louise
I don't mean Dallas
When I mention the "Big D"
See, married life had made a meal
Of my best friend and me
We needed a vacation
To settle out the smoke
So we cashed our final paychecks
Down at the Broken Spoke
Thank God for happy hour
Macaroni and Cheese
When we took the tips and hit it
Like Thelma and Louise
We figured Colorado
Night off from summer mens
From the poncho via candle
That was burning at both ends
We made it to the mountains
Made camp in Vail
With some holy rollin' rich folks
With demons on our trail
Stars were all around us
The chill was on the breeze
We were wide awake at midnight
Like Thelma and Louise
She said we'd committed murder
In the name of true romance
I guess we'd killed some horses
That might've still had a chance
I thought he'd really loved me
'til he showed up with that gun
And shot the phone right out my hand
When I called 911
And good girls finish last, she'd said
And back luck comes in threes
So ain't no difference between us
And Thelma and Louise
Well I should've run away, I said
But I just didn't care
You get so used to feeling fear
That you don't know it's there
You holy-rollers don't know jack
About domestic strife
Until you see my daddy lit
Beating up his wife
I clocked him with a skillet
Grabbed mama and her keys
And we floored it on the interstate
Like Thelma and Louise
So if you love her, treat her kindly
That's what it's all about
My sweetheart wasn't sweet to me
Look how I turned out
So fellas, take your hats off
Say thank you, ma'am, and please
Cause her name might be Thelma
And mine might be Louise
Mine might be Louise
