Carry me over
don't let me down
Carry me over
I don't wanna touch the ground

Bonnie said to Clyde, boy I love you but you better run
they got our pictures in the paper and our story's already been spun
but Clyde just sighed, and then replied
girl you're gonna spoil the fun
and the pen might beat the sword, but Bonnie babe I've got a gun

He said
Carry me over
just shut up and drive
Carry me over
I just wanna stay alive

Bobby said to Joanie, why you lyin' wide awake at night?
I got a lullaby to sing you, but the words ain't comin out right
but Joan just moaned, and then intoned
I'd rather pick a tune than a fight
I'm wearing boots of spanish leather, and the boots are feelin' awful tight

She said
Carry me over
just lay me down
Carry me over
I don't wanna hear a sound

Jackie said to Johnny, are you sorry that we went to war?
I've seen the soldiers on the TV, and I wondered what we're doin' this for.
but John just yawned, and then went on,
girl you know we've been here before
and the people think it's waving, but our flag is draggin' on the floor
and now nation knows I'm lying, so I'm crawlin', Jackie, out the door

He said
Cover me over
bury me deep
Cover me over
I just wanna get some sleep

Carry me over
don't shoot me down
Carry me over
I don't wanna hit the ground
