Original song,vocals & lyrics by steve,music by steve,martin and kenny.Thanks guys for your time/effort/talents in creating such atmosphere for the mystery within.
Do you think we can make it?
she said to me
as we crossed the stateline
into tennessee

Well a hundred more questions
kept coming my way
but my mind was in frankfort
where the body still lay

we drove through to hickman
as the night did descend
to meet up with danny
who was an old friend

he was named after boone
and boy did it show
his hats were all coonskin
although he didnt know

this is my girl
lucys her name
well "howdy" said danny
fancy a game
out came the cribbage
the nuts and the beers
as the radio blasted
the tracks of my tears

soon after a newsflash
came over the waves
talkin about a killing
that was vile and depraved

some old man left hanging
from a tulip tree
above an unmarked grave
in a cemetery

Danny's eyes looked up quickly
as the newsman revealed
that the murder in frankfort
was the 1st in 2 years

lucy took out a cigarette
and asked for a light
the relief of her voice
cut the tension in the night

Danny asked "where ya heading"
or didnt we know?
Oh we'll head down to greeneville
to watch the astros

just then lucy stood up
shot danny in the head
i said well now you done it
both father & son dead

you may think as you hear this
we're like bonnie & clyde
2 crazy lovers
on some wild murder ride
but forget all those movies
that run through your brain
of fabulous g-men
protecting the sane

dear god you may ask
the reason for such sin
only lucy could tell you
the rage thats within.

I love a song that tells a story, like what you have done here. I also like your sound and the hypnotic beat of this song. I can hear the Dylan influence...;)
