Intro Am Em F7M C
[Verso 1]
Am Em F7M C
Every night's another bar and a bottle in my hand
Am Em F7M C
These cheap cigars, they burn my lungs but I don't give a damn
Am Em F7M C
And all the sins I've made time I oughta be dead by now
Am Em F7M C
I'm going down this road, just keep on headed south
Am Em F7M C
'Cause I'm coming down off a run away high
Am Em F7M C
These cops are on my tail but I don't really mind
Am Em F7M C
'Cause I could be gone in the blink of an eye
Am Em F7M C
So what's one more sin before I reach the by and by
[Verso 2]
Am Em F7M C
I heard she met a good old man down in the sticks
Am Em F7M C
He was lookin' sharp as a knife, hell he's probably 36
Am Em F7M C
Well, he crossed my path so I pulled out my old six-shot
Am Em F7M C
Then I put a piece of lead right through his heart
Am Em F7M C
'Cause I'm coming down off a run away high
Am Em F7M C
These cops are on my tail but I don't really mind
Am Em F7M C
'Cause I could be gone in the blink of an eye
Am Em F7M C
So what's one more sin before I reach the by and by
Am Em F7M C
I'm coming down off a run away high
Am Em F7M C
These cops are on my tail but I don't really mind
Am Em F7M C
'Cause I could be gone in the blink of an eye
Am Em F7M C
So what's one more sin before I reach the by and by
I'm coming down off a runaway high
These cops are on my tail, but I don't really mind
Cause could be gone in the blink of an eye
So what's there more to say before I reach the by and by?
