I think Smith and Jones are the aliases adopted by Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid when they're on the lam trying to set up in Paruguay or wherever it is in the movie...then they get killed by the police, so the part about execution made me always thing of Butch and Sundance, and the song does have a Americana/Western feel, with all the talk about moustaches and hitchhiking in Houston,
