Lyrics

[Intro]
| Am | Em | F | C |
| Am | Em | F | C |

[Verse 1]
Am                Em             F                C
  Every nights another bar and a bottle in my hand
Am                            Em
  These cheap cigars they burn  my lungs,
     F
but I don't give a damn
C
Am                      Em               F
  All the sins I've made  and the time I ought be dead by
   C
now
Am                Em
  I'm driving down  this road,
     F                   C
just keep on headed south

[Chorus]
Am                     Em      F           C
  Cause I'm coming down  off a runaway high
Am                 Em
  These cops are on  my tail,
     F                 C
but I don't really mind
Am                     Em            F         C
  Cause I could be gone  in the blink of an eye
Am                           Em              F             C
  So what's there more to say  before I reach the by and by

[Verse 2]
Am                  Em        F                 C
  She met her a good  ol' man down in the sticks
Am                    Em
  He was lookin' sharp  as a knife,
     F
hell hе's probably thirty six
C Am
    Well he crossed my path,
Em             F               C
  so I pull out my ol' six shot
Am                   Em        F                      C
  Thеn I put a piece  of lead right through his heart

[Chorus]
Am                     Em      F           C
  Cause I'm coming down  off a runaway high
Am                 Em
  These cops are on  my tail,
     F                 C
but I don't really mind
Am                     Em            F         C
  Cause I could be gone  in the blink of an eye
Am                           Em              F             C
  So what's there more to say  before I reach the by and by
Am               Em      F           C
  I'm coming down  off a runaway high
Am                 Em
  These cops are on  my tail,
     F                 C
but I don't really mind
Am                     Em            F         C
  Cause I could be gone  in the blink of an eye
Am                           Em              F             C
  So what's there more to say  before I reach the by and by
