[Verse 1]
D Way down on the old panhandle D G That's where I met her you know A She moved here from Louisiana A D And she could never let Louisiana go
[Verse 2]
D She shot a fella down in Baton Rouge D G And ran to Alabam' G A But she found herself here in Texas A D All alone on the Rio Grande
[Bridge]
D G That's the way it was A D That's the way it was
[Verse 3]
D And that's where she made our connection D G All the things she made me do A We ran from the cops we ran from the judge A D But I couldn't think of anyone but you
[Verse 4]
D So that's how I found myself right here D Doing time in the county jail A All because of that Louisiana girl A D Trying to find someone to go my bail
[Chorus 1]
D G That's the way it was D I'd swear D A And if it's not the truth baby I'm your millionaire D G That's the way it was D I swear A G A So baby please give me one more chance A D That's the way it was

D My jailhouse lawyer spoke to me D G About an hour just yesterday A He couldn't believe the fix I'm in A D And you know how I know crime doesn't pay
[Verse 6]
D So hear my plea, listen to me D G I been in the pen too long A I fell under her spell it was a living hell A D Honey you know I never meant you no wrong
[Chorus]
D G That's the way it was, D I swear D A If it's not the truth baby I'm your millionaire A G That's the way it was D I swear A G A So baby please give me one more chance A D That's the way it was
[Chorus 3]
