Confederate Railroad is a country band founded in the early 1990s from Texas, USA. The lead singer is Danny Shirley.
Led by Shirley, the original group which came to the attention of Atlantic president Rick Blackburn, consisted of guitarist Michael Lamb, Gates Nichols on pedal steel, keyboard player Chris McDaniel, Wayne Secrest on bass and Mark DuFresne on drums. Lamb left the group in 1995 and was replaced by Jimmy Dormire.
Despite Confederate Railroad's outward appearance as a tougher-than-leather Southern rock band
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

**************** NOTORIOUS *****************
Written and performed by Confederate Railroad.
Capo on the 1st fret.
Verse 1: E Riding North on Interstate 75
With a nervous fading beauty sitting by his side AE And a pistol that he used to pave the way B7 Down the long black stretches of a dark highway
Verse 2: E Ray bought his future with a pound of lead
When he robbed a liquor store and left the clerk for dead AE That kid should have put the money in the sack B7 But he didn't and now there ain't no turning back
Chorus 1: AE He's a desperate rider, he's a Jesse James AE The best that he could hope for is a household name AE There ain't nobody that a man can trust B7E When all his headlines read, notorious AE There ain't nobody that a man can trust B7E When all his headlines read, notorious
Verse 3: E They pulled out of ? about12 o'clock
Took the heatstroke with the lights off to avoid the road block AE Ray killed the motor at the county line B7 Changed his Tennessee plates to a lost tag sign
Verse 4: E She would never ask what the boy had done
But said she'd be his hostage if he needed one AE Her momma raised her to be loyal and true B7 And she figured that's the least that she could do
Chorus 2: AE She was lost and lonely on a midnight ride AE Reluctant Bonnie to a poorman's Clyde AE It ain't too easy when the man you love B7E Has got a reputation that's notorious AE It ain't too easy when the man you love B7E Has got a reputation that's notorious
Verse 5: E They were just outside of Knoxville when the lights flashed on
And the siren's starting howling like hell houndogs AE Ray popped that Firebird into overdrive B7 And swore he'd never let them take him alive
Chorus 3: AE He was a desperate rider, he was Jesse James AE The best that he'd ever hope for was a household name AE The morning papers didn't say too much B7E But his obituairy read, notorious AE The caption by his picture didn't say too much B7E But his obituairy read, notorious AE The caption by his picture didn't say too much B7E But his obituairy read, notorious

Verse 1: D I remember waking in the morning A To the sound of the rooster's crow
Mamma cooking in the kitchen D Arthur Godfrey on the radio
Verse 2: D Me and Dad were just like strangers A We never did see eye to eye
Came to blows one Sunday morning DFC/GD So i packed my bags and i said goodbye
Chorus: / Em When you leave that way you can never go back AD A train won't run on a torn up track GDEm Sometimes i wish i'd never roamed,oh no AD 'cause when you leave that way you can never go home
Verse 3: D Then i met a girl in Knoxville A Oh,we set our wedding day
I left her standing at the alter D With a baby on the way
Chorus.
Bridge: GAD Lord i'd love to see my mom and daddy GABm And what i'd give to hold that boy of mine GAD I'd get down on my knees and i say i'm sorry EA If i could only go back one more time
Verse 4: D But i killed a man in Houston A When he caught me with his wife
And i told the preacher man to leave me alone D When he came to read my rights
Chorus bis: / Em He said son,when you leave this way you can never come back AD A soul won't roll on a torn up track GDEm All through eternity you'll roam alone AD 'cause when you leave this way you can never come home
GDEm All through eternity you'll roam alone ABm 'cause when you leave this way you can never come home
