Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Well, I caught you with him
On those damp satin [C]sheets,
So I packed my things
And [G]then I hit the streets

[Verse 2]
[C]87 southbound
To San Ant[G]one
It's getting late out,
I ain't got no [C]home

[Verse 3]
The pavements [C]burning
At ninety-two
[F]I I don't need to h[C]ear
no more ex[G]cuses
That I don't love [C]you

[Verse 4]
Lord, [C]the sun keeps beating me [G]down
And it's hotter than [C]hell
And [G]if I'm lucky I'll catch a ride,
But [C]you can never tell
I'd [F]rather be

[Verse 5]
here with
the bugs and flies
Than [C]back there hearing your alibis
[G]Heard all that I'm gonna hear you say,
I'm gonna take my pride and go
the other way
[C]

[Verse 6]
87 southbound
To San Ant[G]one
It's getting late out,
I'm 40 miles from [C]home

[Verse 7]
The rain keeps [C]falling
Like the tears in my [F]eyes,
I'm just trying to [C]wash away
The [G]hurt from all your [C]lies

[Interlude 1]
[G]
[C][F][C][G]
[C]

[Verse 8]
[C]Lightning streaks across
[G]the evening sky[C]
And [G]if I'm lucky I'll make it big
[C]Or lay right down and die

[Verse 9]
[F]I know when the morning comes
I'm [C]gonna be a walking son of a gun.
When [G]afternoon comes rolling around,
I'll have ten more miles and
one more town
[C]

[Verse 10]
87 southbound,
To San Ant[G]one
It's getting late out,
I ain't got no home
[C]

[Verse 11]
The pavements burning,
At a hundred and [F]two
I don't need to [C]hear no
more ex[G]cuses
That I don't love [C]you

[Verse 12]
[F]I don't need to hea[C]r no
more ex[G]cuses
That I don't [C]love you
