E A C#m E
[Verse 1]
E A E
Oh there was a time when she'd lie in the grass
C#m E
And imagine the places she'd never go
E A E
And there all alone she would pleasure herself
C#m E
With thoughts of a man she would never know
E A E
Lying there, she made a promise that one day she'd run
C#m E
And she'd find just the man she was looking for
E A E
Well, she fell in love with that son of a gun
C#m E
But he was not the man that she took him for

[Verse 2]
E A E
When he came to town he came rambling in
C#m E
On a great cloud of dust carried by the wind
E A E
Oh, it wasn't long before he pulled her in
C#m E
And he asked her to come run away with him
E A E
He saw a pretty young girl who was ready to run
C#m E
And she saw just the chance she'd been looking for
E A E
Well, she fell in love with that son of gun
C#m E
But he was not the man that she took him for

Oh - Ohoh - Oh
C#m E
Oh Ohh - Oh
[Verse 3]
E
They headed out west driving into the sun
C#m E
And he promised her she was the only one
E
Well, he was a thief and he'd steal just for fun
C#m E
He'd go cruising around with his little gun
A C#m
He ran afoul of the law and decided to run
A C#m
And he left her alone with their little one
A C#m
Well, she was in love with that son of a gun
A C#m
And the story between them wasn't done
A C#m A C#m
[Chorus]
E A E
When she finds him
C#m E
She will make him regret he was ever born
E A E
When she finds him
C#m E
She will make him regret he was ever born
E A E
When she finds him
A C#m E
She will make him regret he was ever born
E A E
When she finds him
C#m E
She will make him regret he was ever born
E A E
Oh - Ohoh - Oh
C#m E
Oh Ohh - Oh
