[Verse 1]
F            C
Matt & Audie were a few fine folk,
     G                          Am
made love in the morning with a few high

hopes,
       F                C
They’d leave a note and kick some dirt,
     G              Am
in a town only good part time work

[Verse 2]
               F              C
They bought an Astrovan and a loaded revolver,
   G                         Am
To head to Montana where the weathers

colder,
        F                           C
Or they might steer south where the rivers red,
     G                        Am
Only thing they need now is eachother or dead

[Pre-Chorus]
F                        C                   G    
Matt went to work nearly everyday and in one months 
             Am
they’ll be on their way,
F                  C                 G               
Audie prepared the van you see for a getaway bound 
  Am
for robbery

[Chorus]
             F            C                 G         
So Won’t you load up this bag, because my sweet Audie 
     Am
is tired,
  F               C          G                 Am
I promised her a life and I swear to God I’ll fire
          F                  C              G       
Cause her stomach it keeps growling as my hands are 
          Am
callused rock
    F               C                 G             
I’d rather die a desperate man than a man that gets 
 Am
caught

[Verse 3]
   F                      C
He made it out alive, and looked her in the  eye,
       G                 Am
And He told his lover no more just scraping by,
      F                         C
We’re gonna’ be richer than the big machine,
               G                             Am
I will buy you diamonds bigger than than the stars at 
sea

[Chorus]
             F            C                 G         
So Won’t you load up this bag, because my sweet Audie 
     Am
is tired,
  F               C          G                 Am
I promised her a life and I swear to God I’ll fire
          F                  C              G       
Cause her stomach it keeps growling as my hands are 
          Am
callused rock
    F               C                 G             
I’d rather die a desperate man than a man that gets 
 Am
caught

They stand so brave in a house out East, And tonight 
             Am
Audie cooking herself a feast
