A5 C5 G5 x2 A5 C5 G5 Glass in her hand she ponders and paces Plottin' escape from rocks and hard places She says "Nick it ain't always been this hard I'm tired of this livin' lets take whats ours" Nick is just a boy in an old mans town Schoolin' didn't suit him so he dropped right out He looks at her now all ragged and sick Pulls her in close says "we'll get rich quick" A5 And it looks like now they're headed G (Strum once) All the way down A5 C5 G5 x2 Now they both been scratchin' since they turned 16 Pickin' that cotton just to hush those screams Times runnin' short and lucks runnin' thin Nicks gotta gun and a greedy man's grin There's a little ol' lady all skin and bones He got a tip she's gotta script and she's livin' alone So they pay a little visit and they get away clean Nobody got hurt nobody got seen And it looks like now they're headed All the way down A5 C5 G5 x2 F (Strum once) Down where the angels don't dare to dance A5 Across the cold river of a hearts last chance G5 Singin' with the devil to a pale half-moon F (Power chord) G (Power chord) Howlin' with the wolves now a desperate tune F5 Down at the bottom of a wishless well A5 An aimless roam a shameless dwell G5 Fallin' like a feather with a silent shout A5 Now they're headed G (strum once) All the way down A5 C5 G5 x2 Way out in the woods where the Eastbrook roars Nicks got his eye on a generous score "We'll get in we'll get out we'll get out of these sticks Out to California with a golden fix" But at the house at the end of a long dirt road There's a man whose hands have never been slow He's been thinkin' a time before he got so deep Between the money and the pills he can't get no sleep And it looks like now they're headed All the way down So it's knock knock knock and the screen door swung She's standing in the moonlight looking so young Says she's broke down and she needs a lift Nick's around the corner with a gun on his hip When the shots come ringin' they ring to loud Three holes in his jacket Nick's on the ground She looks at him now all covered in blood Pulls him in close her one true love And it looks like now they're headed All the way down Down where the angels don't dare to dance Across the cold river of a hearts last chance Singin' with the devil to a pale half-moon Howlin' with the wolves now a desperate tune Down at the bottom of a wishless well An aimless roam a shameless dwell Fallin' like a feather with a silent shout Now they're headed All the way down A5 C5 G5 x2
