Verse 1:
C G A F
Well I shot a man in Louisville about one year ago,
C G A F
He was looking at me cockeyed, and I guess it goes to show,
C G A G F
that Jack Daniels and a pistol can be a powerful enemy,
C G F
especially when the whiskey's inside me.

Verse 2:
C G A F
And robbed a bank in Tulsa running from the Federal B.I.
C G A F
I don't mind telling you that I shot the guard just to watch him die.
C G A G F
And they're still hot on my trail as my drunk driving hugs the rail
C G F
that runs south bound all the way down 55.

Chorus:
C G A F
Well, I'm prison bound, they're gonna send me down forever and a day.
C G F
So I'm jumping in my truck and I'm headed down old Mexico way.

Verse 3:
C G A F
In Salt Lake City, Utah, there's a warrant on my head
C G A F
for a girl in a bordello that someone left for dead,
C G A G F
and though it wasn't me, I must admit that I was in town at the time
C G F
Drunk and shooting guns beneath the desert sky.

Verse 4:
A C F
I got five hundred miles until I'm free.
C G A F
When I hit the Rio Grande, John Law can't do nothing to me.
C G A F
I got five hundred dollars and five bullets in my gun
C G F
and if I have to, I'll unload every one.

you boys bring your guns?
