[E] [E] [A#]
[G]
That old [E] white haired judge [A] in Dallas didn't [E] pay a story no mind.
They're taking me down [A] to Huntsville.
[E] I'm bringing [A] in a load [E] of time.
They caught me on a caper that [B] I planned for days [A] and proved everything I'd [E] done.
[B] [E] I'm on my way [A] to Huntsville, but [E] I'm looking for [A] a chance [E] to [F#] run.
[E]
My hands don't fit in [A] no chopping bowl.
[E] Cotton [A] never was [E] my bag.
The man better keep [A] both eyes on me, [E] or they're gonna [A] lose all the hag.
It ain't so far to Mexico [A] that I can't find [E] my way.
[Bm]
[E] They're taking me down [A] to Huntsville, but I'm not gonna [E] stay.
[B] [E] [F#]
[A] [E]
[A]
[E] [A] [E]
[G] [Em]
[F#] [E] They got me chained [A] to the guns.
[E] I guess they [A] got a good [E] excuse.
They know I'm gonna run the [A] first chance I get, [E] but they're never [A] gonna cut me [E] loose.
And I really don't care [B] if they shoot me down.
[A] I'll never be free [E] again.
Not too long [A] left turn to do.
[E] Both running [A] and don't end.
[G]
It [E] ain't so far to Mexico [A] that I can't find [E] my way.
They're taking me down [A] to Huntsville, [E] but I'm [A] not gonna [E] stay.
