Dm
I've taken a hit or two
Dm
I've given quite a few
Bb   A     Gm            Dm         A 
I swing my fists and the cities all fall

Dm
I've broken a law or two
Dm
I reckon I only missed a few
Bb    A       Gm             Dm                 A
I watch these long days pass through the bars I curse the brass

Bb
I've had a cracked rib or two
A
I guess I've busted more
Bb                            A
I've laid a couple out on the coolin' board

Bb            A          Gm
Sometimes you walk the line
A                      Dm
And sometimes it walks you
        Bb       A
You get quick to anger
Dm                          Gm           A
Quick to put a knife up to another man's throat
Bb A     Gm        A                    Dm
I cannot still the hell that's in these hands

Dm
When they came to take me in
Dm
I didn't fight just let them win
Bb       Gm       A  
Whoa oh  whoa oh  whoa oh

Dm
A man died in my cell
Dm
Damn the guards sure gave me hell
Bb       Gm       A
Whoa oh  whoa oh  whoa oh

Dm
I'd love to see them horsemen ride 
Dm
So law and order stand aside
Bb         Gm        A
Whoa oh    whoa oh   whoa oh

Dm                    
Oh this woman and gin, woman and gin
Dm
Go together like the devil and sin
Bb                          Gm
Her legs are like wheat her lips are like wine
A
Gonna meet her at the end of the county line
Bb    
JAILBREAK
Bb     A     Gm
JAILBREAK
A                    Dm
Tonight bring on the floodlights

Dm (vamp)
Boys! (Yeah!) Fetch the shovel!
Boys! (Yeah!) Post the lookout!
Coppers! You'll never catch us! (That's right!)
Ladies, we're coming home tonite!

Dm
Cause in a few more yards we'll reach the line
Bb          A      Dm
And meet up with a friend of mine
Dm
The dogs are comin' swift and mean
Bb                    Gm             A
But I'm hungrier than they have ever been

Bb
JAILBREAK
Bb  A   Gm
JAILBREAK
Gm            A      Dm
Tonight bring on the floodlights
