Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]That old white haired judge in Dal[G]las
Didn't [D]pay my [G]story no [D]mind
They're takin' me down [G]to Huntsville
I'm [D]bringin' in a [G]load of time
[D]

[Verse 2]
They caught me on a caper
that I planned for days
And [G]proved everything I [D]done
I'm on my way to [G]Huntsville
But I'm [D]looking for [G]a chance to run
[D]

[Verse 3]
My hands don't fit no chop[G]pin' pile
And [D]cotton [G]was never my [D]beg
They better keep both [G]eyes on me
Or [D]they're gonna [G]lose old Hag
[D]

[Verse 4]
Hey there ain't so far to Mexico
There [G]I can find my w[D]ay
They're takin' me down to [G]Huntsville
But [D]I'm not [G]gonna stay
[D]

[Verse 5]
[G]They[D][G][D][G][D]
[G][D]
got me chain and [G]leg irons
I [D]guess they got [G]a good [D]excuse
[G]The[D]y know I'm gonna
run the first chance
[G]I get cause they nev[D]er
gonna [G]cut me loose
[D]

[Verse 6]
And I don't care if they shoot me down
I'll [G]never be free [D]again
I've got two long life [G]turns to do
[D]Both runnin' [G]in the en[D]d[G][D]
[Dm]Hey there

[Verse 7]
[D]ain't so far to Mexico
There [G]I can find my w[D]ay
They're takin' me down [G]to Huntsville
But [D]I'm not [G]gonna stay
[D][G][D]
