E E7 E
Got’ta kill my Maw and Paw

Verse:
E E7 E
I stole my neighbor’s pickup truck
E E7 E
And took his daughter for good luck
E E7 E
I spent all my dough on a gun
E E7 E
Liquored up to have some fun
E E7 E
I drink all night and I feel real fine
E E7 E
Cause I roll’in past that old state line
E E7 E
Driving off all night and day
E E7 E
Just to show hey on his way

Verse:
E E7 E
I pull on down the streets of town
E E7 E
I’d love to burn the fucker down
E E7 E
And down the road all the way
E E7 E
Drove right past my brother Hey
E E7 E
I’m running up the law at night

They can’t see me, there’s no light
E E7 E
Kick down the door, and then I say
E E7 E
Brace yourself for judgment day

Going back to Arkansas

Burying my Maw and Paw
E E7 E
Then I’m going far away
E E7 E
Where I’m going, I won’t say
E E7 E
Cause I don’t know just where I’ll run

I guess I’ll follow hell’s son
E E7 E
Maybe north of Mexico
E E7 E
For I ain’t say’in where I’ll go

E E7 E
Leather strap across my back
E E7 E
Watch my eyes all roll’in back
