[Verse]
A
I was rollin' through Atlanta
D A
I was down to my last dime
A E
That's when my better judgement lost con-trol
A
I hit a liquor store and I hit the gas,
D A
all hit the fan when the blue lights flashed
A E A
They said son you're gonna pay for what you stole
[Chorus]
D A
I thought I was a bad man and the law did not apply
A E
I guess you know just how this story ends
A
I'm doin' time in a Georgia slammer,
D A
breakin' rocks with a nine-pound hammer
A E A
And swearin' I'll never break the law again
[Verse]
A
They dragged me through that courthouse,
D A
I had shackles on my feet
A E
That old judge was a stari' down at me
A
He said boy you're gonna rue the day,
D A
you ever stepped on Georgia clay
A E A
Your soul is God's but the rest belongs to me
[Chorus]
D A
I thought I was a bad man and the law did not apply
A E
I guess you know just how this story ends
A
I'm doin' time in a Georgia slammer,
D A
breakin' rocks with a nine-pound hammer
A E A
And swearin' I'll never break the law again
[Verse]
A
When my sentence here is over,
D A
I'm goin' home to stay
A E
I won't set foot in Georgia any-more
A
Never more will I steal and rob,
D A
I'll get myself an honest job
A E A
But it won't be swingin' no hammer that's for sure
[Chorus]
D A
I thought I was a bad man and the law did not apply
A E
I guess you know just how this story ends
A
I'm doin' time in a Georgia slammer,
D A
breakin' rocks with a nine-pound hammer
A E A
And swearin' I'll never break the law again
