but I was thinking this awful thing I’d done
Am                           F
back home in Kentucky it was sundown
                                  C
when he slipped right through the door

and he was wide eyed and sweaty
       F                             C       G
and he said he would be ready by the mornin’

sixty miles an hour after midnight
                           C
he roared o’er that county line
  
there were patrol cars in the bushes
              F                          C
and they were waiting for just the right time
                Am                        
they turned the lights on in the curve
        F                                 C
and the Plymouth started swerving left to right
       Am                           
and it sounded like a cannon
       F                         C      G
as the shotguns ripped apart the night
