The Law And The Lonesome

Capo 3 Intro: Am C G Am (2x) Am C With the wrath of the law and the lonesome above you G Am And all those who love you behind Am C The storm in your rear view, and darkness before you G Am Where will you fly to this time? Am C Only Jesus will go down the road that you're burning G Am You should be turning to him. Am C But how can you wait and be washed in the water G Am When the river is dirty as sin? Am C G Am Am C Well how can she take you and make you so lonely? G Am You said she was only your friend. Am C But any fool and his pride who has tried to refuse her G Am Can see your using again Am C It snows like a ghost of cocaine on the highway G Am That shifts and plays tricks on your mind Am C The wind is like razors and in only 2 days G Am You've done 200,000 white lines C Am You took the wrong way home C Am You took the wrong way home Am C G Am (2x) Am C You blasted the bedrock and laid all the black top G Am Like a snake round the shoulders of God. Am C But Christ on his hilltop and the cop at the truck stop G Am They're both only doing their jobs. Am C But you gone and double-crossed too many, now you lost G Am The last friend that you had to lose Am C Now he's in the ambulance, you're in the cruiser G Am With a fatal case of the sucker-punch blues C Am You took the wrong way home C Am You took the wrong way home C Am You took the wrong way home Am C With the wrath of the law and lonesome above you G Am And all those who love you behind.
