E5 , E5 ,  E5 , E5 ,  E5 , E5 ,  E5 , E5 - intro

E5
runnin' down the 301 like he never done before
B5
gasin' down that stright 6 like there never was a floor
       A5                                E5     E5 , E5 , E5
he was crazier than a shithouse rat, oh lord
B5                                                E5 , E5 , E5 , E5
past those blues at 110, the chase was all for sure
E5     E5  E5                   E5
oh no,    they just sat there
A5                                               E5 , E5 , E5 , E5
maybe they didn't see him , maybe they didn't care


E5
that old boy turned around
E5
passed him on the other side
E5
he turned around again
B5                  E5 , E5 , E5 , E5
and gave it another shot
E5
runnin' down that 301 like he never done before
B5
burnin' up that old straight 6 like he had nine lives or more
A5                                               E5 , E5 , E5 , E5
he had fire in his eyes and led in his feet, oh lord

A5                                              E5 , E5 , E5 , E5
so now theres 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, smokers on his tail
B5                                                                E5 , E5 , E5 , E5
but if theres 7, 8, 9, 10, or more that boy wouldn't have given a hell
A5                                                   E5 , E5 , E5 , E5
they tried to run, run, run, run, run, run, run him down
B5                                                          E5 , E5 , E5 , E5
but they couldn't catch that old shithouse rat for the life of them
