Intro:
||: D D F D | . D F | D D F D | . D F / G :||
(Riff)
Know a little girl she drives me mad
She loves her outlaw but he don't love back
I feel bad 'cause she can't stay clean
The future looks bad, tell you what I see
Four black horses and a memory
(n/c)
Makin' money lyin' in bed
Listen to the voices that are in her head
(Riff)
Main Street's dirty and the mud is dank
With her no good lover in front of the bank
Gonna take all the money and leave this town
But the lawdogs gonna track 'em down
(n/c)
When mornin' comes she hangs her head
Sittin' there smokin' a cigarette
G F
Her skin is pale sittin' in jail
E |Eb |
Hopin' someone will set her free
(Riff)
Explosions have rocked the jail
And all the sirens, they start to wail
The man in a duster, he runs inside
To grab that girl and take her for a ride
(n/c)
Police runnin' all over the place
They lost that girl it's a big disgrace
Outro:
(Add high counterpoint riff)
(Riff)
Yeah, gonna run, but you 'sho can't hide
Yeah, lawdogs
