Chords
F F Empty beer bottles rattle on my pistol Am G F On the seat of my Chevy pickup truck F I'm taking these gravel roads F fast as my truck will go Am G F I'm running like a scared white tail buck F F It was an all night card game with Earl Ray and Bobby Am G F And some old boy they work with from Adair F F That boy didn't like me then he said I was cheating Am G F G gunshots rang out on the midnight air
Chorus”
F G I don't want to see the daylight F F But my Becky's alone tonight F G F I wonder if she's waiting up for me F I’m gonna hide out in the bottoms F Where I hunted deer and turkeys Am G F I know that swamp like the back of my hand F Hell I was born and raised here F Just wanted to be a good old boy Am G F never thought I'd ever be a wanted man F Well soon they're gonna catch me, F Ain't no way around that A G F Cause I don't know any other place to hide F F I wonder if Becky's bible is still in the glove box Am G F G Cause I'm sure gonna need it if that boy dies
Chorus
F Sometime tomorrow morning F When I ought to be fishing Am G F They'll probably be hauling me in F I'll be sitting in the jail house F no need to be wishing Am G F G That I'll ever get to fish the Green river again F G I'll be praying for some daylight F F While my Becky's alone at night F G F I wonder if she's waiting up for me F G F I wonder if she's waiting up for me
