out on the highway son be careful
                       C
your mother sure loves you

smell of liquor and gasoline
         F                          C
you knew then what you were born to do

          F                            C
˜bout the time when he made that first run

but I was thinking this awful thing I™d done
Am                           F
back home in Kentucky it was sundown
                                  C
when he slipped right through the door
           Am
and he was wide eyed and sweaty
       F                             C       G
and he said he would be ready by the mornin™

                                 F
when you were at home it was the only sleep
                   C
your mother got at night
           Am
she™d just sit there by the window
       F                      C
crying boy oh when you comin™ home
   Am                           F  
at night I see her there on her knees and in her prayers
            C                         G                 
she says oh Jesus don™t leave us here alone

sixty miles an hour after midnight
                           C
he roared o™er that county line
  
there were patrol cars in the bushes
              F                          C
and they were waiting for just the right time
                Am                        
they turned the lights on in the curve
        F                                 C
and the Plymouth started swerving left to right
       Am                           
and it sounded like a cannon
       F                         C      G
as the shotguns ripped apart the night

        Am
let his soul rest in Kentucky
         F                       C
where he won™t have to be lucky anymore
      Am
I can still here him laughing
         F                          C
bout the police he outrun the night before

the bullets in his door
