Start Jamming...
[C] Oh, she was gettin' real on the [F] motor.
[Am] [G]
[Am]
[A] With [Em] cocaine [C]
Charlie, [Dm] drove a [C] 1985 [Gm]
stepside [C] [Am] Chevrolet.
[E]
[Am]
[E] Night and [C] night along the border, [Dm] he slipped across [C] the river [G] like no one knew his [Am] name.
[E]
[Am]
And he'd run, [G] bailed, and [C] traveled.
[Bb] He knew of [C] every back road [G] along the Rio [Am] Grande.
[E]
[Am]
And in the village [G] of [C] Hidalgo, [Dm] they'd fill [C] that old [G] stepside with cocaine to the [Am] brim.
[E]
[Am]
And he'd hand [G] the [C] keys to Martha, [Bb] the mother [C] of his children, [G] with one [F] on the way.
[E]
[Am] And she'd drive [G] on back [C] to Davis, [F]
without a [C] single soul [G] to ever ask her [Am] name.
[E]
[Am] [G]
[C] [G]
[C] She would hide her tears away.
With a little of her [G] disguise would never [Bb] save her [C] from the pain.
[Am] She would [G] have to lay beside [F] old Charlie in some [C] grave.
[Em] [C]
[Bm] [Am] Well, [G]
cocaine [C] Charlie never [F] [C] learned to fly.
[G] But he bought himself a [Am] plane.
[E] [Am]
Cause the money [G] that he [C] was makin'
[F] would overrun [C] his double [G] bags and damn sure turn [Am] to grain.
So outside [G] of truth [C] and consequence, [Bb] on a runway [C] lit with candlelight, [G] Charlie [Am] parked his plane.
[E] [Am]
While in the bathroom [G]
[C] of the ranch house,
[F] Martha [C] filled crowned oil sacks [G] with Colombian [Am] cocaine.
[Em] [Am]
[G] [C]
[F] She [C] would hide her [Dm]
tears [C] away.
[Am] With a little of her [G] disguise would never [F] save [C] her from the pain.
[Am] She would [G] have to lay beside [Dm] old Charlie [C] in some grave.
[D] [C]
[Am] Well, cocaine Charlie [G] heard [C] the chow.
[F] He planned to [C] double cross him as he [G] brought the cargo [Am]
in.
[Em] [Am]
But he never [G] knew [C] that Martha was [F] [C] wiretapped and made [G] by U.S. Federal [Am]
Flames.
[E] [Am]
So with a pistol [G] on [C] the dashboard,
[F] they both [C] drove to see the [G] lights that flashed upon the [Am] beach.
[E] [Am]
When [Gm] Martha shot [C] him in the back, [F] tied his [C] boots to cinder blocks [Gm] and pushed him off the [Am] edge.
[E] She [Am]
[G] [C]
[F] [C] would cry her [F]
tears [C] of rage.
[Am] But she knew that her [G] disguise would never [F] save her [C] from the day.
[Am] She knew that the men that [G] would kill the [F] child didn't care if Charlie's [C] name.
[Am] Well, [G] cocaine [C] Charlie had [F] a [C] 1985
[G] step-side Chevy.
[Am]
And that line [Gm]
belonged [C] to Porter.
He'd [Dm] slip across [C] the river [G] like no one knew his [Am] name.
