[Intro]
Am C G D
 
[Verse 1]
Am            C
Man I grew up way up north
   G                    D
On that clay dirt under that red sun
Am             C
My Dad told me listen here boy
G                       D*
Life ain't always gonna be fun
 
 
[Chorus]
Am                 C
Now I live my life on the run
             G               D
Hand on my hip, one on the gun
Am                          C
Momma said what happened to you my son           
            G              D
Why are you always on the run?
 
 
 
[Verse 2]
Am           C
Momma, take a seat
G*                D
Kick back while I pour some drinks
Am            C
Momma, where you been
G*                D
God above know of all our sins
 
 
[Chorus]
Am                 C
Now I live my life on the run
            G               D
Hand on the clip, one on the gun
Am                             C
Did you miss me enough to drink
                          G    D*
Drink enough to miss your only son
 
 
[Verse 3]
Am         C
Momma, I’m sorry
    G                 D
For what that man has done to you
Am          C
Momma, this is it
G*              D
God above knows what you did
 
 
[Instrumental]
Am C G D x2
 
 
[Bridge]
Am*    C*         G*                    D*
  Lord, forgive me of all the sin I must commit
 
 
[Chorus]
Am                  C
Now I’m done living on the run
            G                   D  Am*
Hands on my hip, smoke from my gun
                 C*
Now I smell like blood and death a lot
      G*   D* Am*       C*            G*           D*     Am*
Jesus Christ   coming after me and the darkest of nights
 
 
[Outro]
         C*         G*                D*
Give your loved ones a kiss good night
 
Am* C* G* D*

Or skip the down tune, put capo on first fret and transpose sheet music down one, and the “simple” chords are Am, Cmaj7, G, then D. Match strum pattern. Sounds pretty spot on.
