[Intro]
D Dsus2 D Dsus2 D Dsus2 D Dsus2 D
[Verse 1]
D Dsus2 D Dsus2 Got out of prison back in '86 and I found me a wife D Bm I walked the clean and narrow G Just tryin' to stay out and stay alive D Dsus2 D Dsus2 Got a job at the rendering factory, it ain't gonna make me rich D Bm In the darkness before dinner comes G D Sometimes I can feel the itch
[Chorus]
A D G I got a cold mind to go tripping across that thin line D Dsus2 D Dsus2 D Dsus2 D Dsus2 D I'm sick of doin straight time
[Verse 2]
D Dsus2 D Dsus2 My uncles at the evenin' table makes his living runnin' hot cars D Bm Slips me a hundred dollar bill, says G "Charlie, you best remember who your friends are."
[Chorus]
A D G I got a cold mind to go tripping across that thin line D Dsus2 D Dsus2 D Dsus2 D Dsus2 D I ain't makin' straight time
[Bridge]
G D Eight years in, it feels like you're gonna die G But you get used to anything D Sooner or later it becomes your life
[Verse 3]
D Dsus2 D Dsus2 Kitchen floor in the evening, tossin' my little babies high D Bm Mary's smilin', but she watches me G Out of the corner of her eye
[Verse 4]
D Dsus2 D Dsus2 Seems you can't get any more than half free D Bm I step out onto the front porch G D Dsus2 D And suck the cold air deep inside of me
[Chorus]
A D G Got a cold mind to go tripping cross that thin line D D Dsus2 D Dsus2 D Dsus2 D Dsus2 D I'm sick of doin' straight time
[Bridge]
G D In the basement, huntin' gun and a hacksaw G Sip a beer, and thirteen inches D Of barrel drop to the floor
[Verse 5]
D Dsus2 D Dsus2 Come home in the evening, can't get the smell from my hands D Bm Lay my head down on the pillow G D And, go driftin' off into foreign lands
[Outro]
