Rattlesnake

They grew up on the wrong side of a dangerous town
Where the sun melts the tarmac and everything is dust
They were lovers for longer than they could remember
They always wished for something more, a new life, fame, notoriety

See, they'd always been in trouble with the law
Those small town kids doing small town crimes
Until the summer they stole a car and she took her daddy's six gun
And they just drove and they didn't look back

We're gonna make this easy
Just raise your hands up in the air
We're gonna bring this party down
Raise your hands, raise your hands

From there it started to go wrong, robbing stores and gas stations
They were making a name for themselves but in all the wrong places
But we were always one step behind, just one step behind
It must've seemed like fun for a while until things got worse

They said they never meant for anyone to get hurt
But that's a lie, it's just a line
They knew what they were doing, they loved the life
And now they're cornered like a rattlesnake in a barn
But hell, they knew the score and we all make choices

We're gonna make this easy
Just raise your hands up in the air
We're gonna bring this party down
Raise your hands, raise your hands

We're gonna make this easy
Just raise your hands up in the air
We're gonna bring this party down
Raise your hands, raise your hands
