[Verse 1]
 
             D
Bar tender I really did it this time
           A
Broke my parole to have a good time
      G
When I got home it was 6 a.m.
      A
The door was locked so I kicked it in
          D
She was trippin on the bills
                  A
I think she was high on some pills
              G
She threw my shit out into the yard
            A
Then she called me a bum and slapped me real hard
     D
And in my drunkin stooper
              A
I did what I should of never done
          G
Now I'm sittin here talking to you
A
Drunk and on the Run
 
 
[Chorus]
 
                 D
I'm sittin at a bar on the inside
                A
Waiting for my ride on the outside
                G
She broke my heart in the trailer park
       C
So I jacked the keys to her fuckin car
       A
And crashed that piece of shit
 
And then stepped away

[Verse 2]
 
                    D
You know Mo I'll probably get ten years
                 A
So just give me beers till they get here
         G
Yeah I know the sun is comin up
                 A
And y'all are probably getting ready for closing up
          D
But I'm trying to drown my soul
                   A
I'm tired of this life on a dirt road
              G
And everything that I love is gone
          A
And I'm tired of hangin on
 
 
[Chorus]
 
                       D
She got me sittin at a bar on the inside
              A
Waitin for my ride on the outside
             G
She stole my heart in the trailer park
       C
So I jacked the keys to her fuckin car
  A
Crashed that piece of shit
 
And then stepped away
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
               D
Guess it was meant to be
 
Romance is misery
             A
So much for memories
 
And now I'm headed to the penitentary
          G
See me on T.V.
 
The next cop series
 
I Am A danger
   A
I guess I should've did something about my anger
           D
But I'll never learn
 
Real things I don't concern
          A
I poor kerosene on everything I love and watch it burn
            G
I know it's my fault
 
But I wasn't happy it was over
      A
She threw a fit so I crashed that piece a shit nova
 
              D
And now I'm goin back again
             A
Back to the pen to see my friends
             G
And when we all pile out that county van
          A
They'll ask me where I've been
 
 
[Chorus] (Repeat as many times as needed):
 
                D
I've been at a bar on the inside
               A
Waitin for my ride on the outside
                G
She broke my heart in the trailer park
       C
So I jacked the keys to her fuckin car
A
I crashed that piece of shit
 
And then stepped away

I play the progression as D F#m G A and chorus as D F#m G Cadd9 A It sounds better to me. May not be right, but sounds fuller. also I play the G as 3
