Bandits Lyrics

All those kisses that we stole
they're all cast in fire and gold.
in a gold no one can weigh,
we made out like bandits, babe.

And all those Bonnies, all those Clydes,
they're amateurs to you and I,
and coming home's a prison break
we made out like bandits, babe.

And all that love, all those mistakes
and what else can a poor man make,
do you wonder if there was
any rich folks rich as us?

And they say those two won't get far
in the backseat of a car
but we pulled off the interstate
and out like bandits babe.

and we pulled off the interstate
and made out like bandits, babe.

Cover art for Bandits lyrics by Josh Ritter

I have this song from the live ep, but is it a cover or no?

No - it's an original by Josh; but "Daddy's L'il Pumpkin" on the EP is a John Prine cover.
Note the classic lines from Bandits ". . . all that love, all those mistakes and what else can a poor man make" - are also in "Idaho".
