Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

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.”

We can drive it home with one headlight….

Some songs just get stuck in your head and I think this is definitely one of them.  This is also a song that always used to play in the background at one of my favorite used bookstores.  I associate One Headlight with searching through old books and learning about history.
