[F] When I was just a baby my mama told me son
Always be a good boy.
Don't ever play with guns, but I shot a man and Reno
Just to watch him die
[C] When I hear that whistle blowing I hang my [F] head and cry
[Bb]
[F]

[F] Bet there's red smoke CD in a fancy dining car
They're probably drinking coffee and smoking big cigars.
Well, [Bb] I know I had it coming.
I know I [F] can't be free
[C] But those people keep moving and that's what's more
[F] Seriously, what's more?

Then I'd move it on a little farther down the line

That's where I want [F] to stay
