  • Intro: Dadd11
     
    Dadd11
  • Got out of prison back in '86, and I found a wife.
    G
    Walked the clean and narrow,
  • Dadd11
    Just trying to stay out and stay alive.
     
  • Got a job at the rendering plant; it ain't gonna make me rich.
    G
    In the darkness before dinner comes
  • Dadd11
    Sometimes I can feel the itch
    A7sus4 G
  • I got a cold mind to go tripping 'cross that thin line.
    Dadd11
    I'm sick of doing straight time.
  •  
    My uncle's at the evening table, makes his living running hot cars.
    Slips me a hundred dollar bill, says
  • "Charlie, you best remember who your friends are."
    Got a cold mind to go tripping 'cross that thin line.
    I ain't making straight time.
  •  
    G Dadd11
    Eight years in it feels like you're gonna die.
  • G
    But you get used to anything.
    Dadd11
  • Sooner or later it just becomes your life.
     
    Kitchen floor in the evening tossin' my little babies high.
  • Mary's smiling, but she's watching me out of the corner of her eye.
    Seems you can't get any more than half free.
    I step out onto the front porch and suck the cold air deep inside of me.
  • Got a cold mind to go tripping 'cross that thin line.
    I'm sick of doin' straight time.
     
  • G Dadd11
    In the basement, huntin' gun and a hacksaw.
    G Dadd11
  • Sip a beer, and thirteen inches of barrel drop to the floor.
     
    Come home in the evening, can't get the smell from my hands
  • Lay my head down on the pillow
    And go driftin' off into foreign lands.
  • PLAY TOO ..
