They had a warrant out for me all over country  
 
                                     G
and I was trying to beat two raps in Idaho, 
 
      C                                   F
I was breaking into a school house sunday morning without warning  
 
C                      G             C
when I saw the sheriff coming for me slow from down below 
 
 
C                        G               C
His steel grey eyes were blazing when he saw me  
 
                                      G
his hand was on his gun when he rode up 
 
   C                                     F
he said you killed that woman I know you shot her why'd you do it? 
 
C                 G          C
I'm taking you to Austin and I'm gonna lock you up 
 
 
C                        G                 C
Well he tied me with the plowline the next morning  
 
                                     G
and he had me deep in Texas the next day 
 
C                                 F
A crazy screaming lynchmob waited in streets of Austin 
 
C                    G                C
but he put me in the jailhouse and he threw the key away 
 
 
C               G                   C
a jury found me guilty three months later  
 
                                   G
weld evil men with murder in their eyes 
 
C                                  F
they even took me out and said now show us where you killed her 
 
C                          G            C
and that wicked judge said now I hereby sentence you to die 
 
                                                                           G
But here I am far away from Austin prison my friend the jailor handed me a file 
 
C                                       F
now all I want between me and there are alot of friendly people  
 
C                       G                  C
and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
