[Em] _ [G] [A] I want [C] down the 10 and [G] 10, I want [A] down the 10 and 10, [C] see what I [G] can see.
_ [A] _ _
[E] _ [G] [A] My mama [C] told me never go, [G] I'm damn near [A] 22 years old, [C] sometimes I [G] feel this hot as a
swallow [A] moon. _
_ _ She made [C] love to Gettysburg, [G] and off of that [A] new boat of hers, [C] I snuck off
[G] after dark.
[A] _ _
[E] _ [G] [A] It's a long way [C] down the county [G] road, the stars were [A] bright and the moon was
[C] low, down the [G] way the blacktop [A] highway starts.
_ _ I want [C] down the 10 and [G] 10, I want [Am] down the 10 and 10, [C] I want down the [G] 10 and 10, see what [A] I can see.
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _
[Am] _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ [A] _ _
[E] _ [G] [A] Now [C] everybody's stating me, [G] you'd think they [A] ain't never seen a [C] colored boy [G] before.
_ [Am] _ _
[E] _ [G] [A] The way the trunked [C] men have called my [G] name, they don't want me [A] sure, but the sheriff [C] came.
I slipped [G] off and ran through the [A] drive-thru station.
_ _ Now I run [C] down Division [G] Street, and some of them boys [A] followed [C] me down to the [G] radio track.
[A] _ _
_ [G] [A] Well, this fool and [C] them and I came [G] five, but I got [A] my own random [C] knife.
I cut that [G] boy, I never did [A] look back.
_ _ Went [C] down the 10 and [G] 10, I went [A] down the 10 and 10, [C] I went [G] down to see what [A] I could see.

[G] _ [A] [Am] Across the [C] fields and woods I run [G] like a bullet [A] from a rabbit gun, [C] back home [G] to my bed.
[A] _ _ [E] _
[G] [A] Now my [C] commie from [G] Gettysburg heard [A] that new boat of hers, [C] boy you look [G] like hell, that's all [A] she said.
[Am] A _ month went [C] by without a word, [G] somebody down the [A] holler [C] heard, brought that [G] boy to home.
[A] _ _ [E] _
[G] [A] He begged those [C] men to spare his [G] life, but I dropped my [Am] bloody random [C] knife.
He picked it up so [G] they thought he was [A] the one.
_ I went [C] down the [G] 10 and 10, I went [A] down the 10 and 10, [C] [G] I ain't going back here no [Am] more. _
