Mack showed up with his old shotgun.
[Em] He'd been up a while, things were [Am] getting weird.
You see, Jack Colt was supposed to have the [Dm] cash, instead he had some song and [Em] dance.

living at some truck stop [Am] by 5-5.

Then some suit and tie came [E] in, said, Mack, I just want to [Am] shake your hand.
You see, Jack Colt was on the wanted list.
[Dm] That son of a bitch killed a bunch of kids, [Em] I just wish I could have been there to see [Am] him die.
_ He said, now I'm gonna let you go, [Dm] you and your trailer full of dope.
