Verse   E                              E7 E

        I stole my neighbor's pickup truck

        E                              E7 E
        I 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'm rolling past that old state line
        E                         E7 E

        Driving off all night and day

        E                           E7 E

        Just to show me I'm his way ??
 

        E E7 E

 

Verse   E                            E7 E
        Walking down the streets of town

        E                              E7 E
        I'd love to burn the fucker down

        E                        E7 E
        Down the road, along the way

        E                              E7 E
        I drove right past my brother's ??

        E                              E7 E
        I'm counting up the longest night

        E                              E7 E
        They can't see me, there's no light

        E                              E7 E
        Kick down the door, and then I say

        E                               E7 E
        Don't piss yourself on judgment day
 

        E E7 E

 

Verse   E                  E7 E
        Going back to Arkansas

        E                E7 E
        Burying my Ma and Pa

        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

        E                               E7 E
        I guess I'll just follow Noah's sun
        E                 E7 E

        Maybe north or Mexico

        E                        E7 E
        I ain't saying where I'll go

Verse   E                        E7 E

        I had to kill my Mom and Dad

        E                            E7 E
        Because they beat me up real bad

        E                      E7 E
        My Daddy beat me every day

        E                            E7 E
        For what I done, he wouldn't say

        E                          E7 E
        A leather strap across my back

        E             E7 E
        Closed my eyes ??

        E                    E7 E
        So I killed my Ma and Pa

        E                        E7 E
        Killed them both in Arkansas
        E          E7 E

        ?? so damn mad

        E                          E7 E
        'Cause I killed my Mom and Dad

        E                               E7 E
        And now I'm running night and day

        E                       E7 E
        Where I'm going I won't say

        E                                    E7 E
        Just me and the girl in the stolen truck
