"Modern Day Bonnie and Clyde" is a song written by Walt Aldridge and James LeBlanc, and recorded by American country music artist Travis Tritt. It was released in January 2002 as the fourth and final single from his album Down the Road I Go. It peaked at number 8, and is his last top ten hit to date.

The song describes a man who meets a woman at a truck stop in Johnson City, Tennessee. After leaving town, the woman robs a convenience store, and tells the man to drive away. Then later that night, after heading north on Interstate 95, the man and the woman are both arrested counting the money in a motel room in Richmond, Virginia.

Critical reception

Chuck Taylor, of Billboard magazine, reviewed the song favorably, saying that the song has a "swampy, hypnotic appeal that commands attention." He went on to say that "the retro intro in this engaging musical outing serves notice that there is something cool and quite different in the air."[2]
