She rode a bay called Chesapeake Stayed on its back for 14 weeks Rode all the way down to New Orleans Searching for her man I was two weeks out of Franklin Keeping it close to the rails I rode a stallion hard, leaving no holds barred Just missing the Birmingham jail I knew Kitty was stubborn to no-'count But the kitten was crazy in love She just had to know why I had to go When she fit just like a glove She rode a bay called Chesapeake Stayed on its back for 14 weeks Rode all the way down to New Orleans Tracking down her man She was determined to find me And I was just planning to hide But she rode through hell just so she could tell me She needed to be by my side She never complained about the action When it came down to doing the job She could ride with the best and she was put to the test The night 97 was robbed We got away on Chesapeake Made Tijuana in less than a week Hiding and loving and learning to speak South of the border land We got away on Chesapeake Made Tijuana in less than a week Ain't going back up to New Orleans Staying south of the border land
