[Verse 1]
Am F
I'm runnin' from the daylight
Am G Am
No time to stick around
Am F
Catch me it'll kill me
Am G Am
Be six feet under ground
G C
Some think I'm worth savin'
G D
They're surely mistaken
Am F
I'm runnin' from the daylight
Am G Am
These boots are westward bound
[Verse 2]
Am F
Some men see more than
Am G Am
They should ever see
Am F
Battle scarred and hardened
Am G Am
No taste of victory
G C
Sent to fight and win a war
G D
Politicians keeping score
Am F
Body counts, blood and gore
Am G Am
Can't escape the memories
[Verse 3]
Am F
I'm runnin' from the daylight
Am G Am
Got demons on my trail
Am F
Quietly they stalk me
Am G Am
The devil's trained them well
G C
Suicide they demand
G D
Belt up high, gun in hand
Am F
I'm runnin' from the daylight
Am G Am
At night I can't be found
[Verse 4]
Am F
Twenty-one tomorrow
Am G Am
Next day maybe more
Am F
Soon forgotten heroes
Am G Am
Pills scattered 'cross the floor
G C
I hear that train a comin'
G D
It's rollin' down the track
Am F
Doin' time in a VA line
Am G Am
Ain't never comin' back
[Outro]
Am F
I'm runnin' from the daylight
Am G Am
At night I can't be found
Am F
Catch me it'll kill me
Am G Am
Be six feet under ground
Am F
I'm runnin' from the daylight
Am G Am
These boots are westward bound
