Verse 1
There’s a pretty little thing, walking the side of the road,
Gun on her hip, blood on her clothes.
Chorus
Well that old girl can steal a heart, better than a dollar bill.
She likes all the cheap wine, even cheaper thrills.
She’s old school, even though she’s young at heart.
Verse 2
She says, “Hey there Mr. Banker Man, gimme all your money.
Sure don’t mind the hard way, but I prefer the easy way, honey.
I might look sweet, but I got one mighty mean streak.”
“I got a derringer, hidden up my sleeve,
Always got a few holes in my jeans,
And my heroes - Thelma and Louise.”
Chorus
Well that old girl can steal a heart, better than a dollar bill.
She likes all the cheap wine, even cheaper thrills.
She’s old school, even though she’s young at heart.
Bridge
Oh the law, is so swift, oh so swift and fast.
Those real outlaws they never last.
Chorus
Well that old girl can steal a heart, better than a dollar bill.
She likes all the cheap wine, even cheaper thrills.
She’s old school, even though she’s young at heart.
She’s so young at heart.
Verse 1 (repeat)
There’s a pretty little thing, walking the side of the road.
Gun on her hip, blood on her clothes.
Blood on her clothes.
