With today’s song of the day, we continue our Bonnie and Clyde theme!
This song is from 1968 and was inspired by Arthur Penn’s classic crime film, Bonnie and Clyde. Oddly enough, this song insists that Bonnie and Clyde were from Savannah, Georgia when everyone knows that they were from my part of the world, North Texas. Then again, “Savannah” does sound a bit better when set to music than “West Dallas.”
Savannah is in West Texas, Lisa Marie! The singer doesn’t say Savannah, Georgia, he just says “down Savannah way”. Yes, I know that Savannah, Texas didn’t exist until many years after this song, but it does now! So, decades later, this song has become geographically correct.
