[Verse 1]
Dm
I broke the law and I used a gun

Gm
Broke the Ten Commandments one by one

Gm
Always wished that I had a son

                  Dm
Just to teach him not to

Dm
Lived in the valley and I hid in the hills

Gm
Stole moonshine from illegal stills

Gm
Folks said "Don't rile him 'cause he may kill"

                 Dm
But only if I've got to
[Chorus]
Bb    C         F         Dm
All I want is a Tennessee bottle

Bb    C          F        Dm
All I need is an Arkansas bride

Bb        C         F              Dm
All I can see is an Ozark mountain sunrise

Bb  C                Dm
500 miles to hide my life

                       Gm
Life, life, to hide my life

           Dm
To hide my life
[Verse 2]
Dm
I tried to farm and I tried to mine

Gm
Tried cuttin' on the timberline

Gm
Pain and sweat was all I'd find

                 Dm
Rewarding all my labor

   Dm
So I robbed banks and I robbed trains

Gm                 
Lost one eye in a poker game

Gm
Gave up gambling 'cause it's such a shame

                          Dm
To cheat your friends and neighbors
[Chorus]
Bb    C         F         Dm
All I want is a Tennessee bottle

Bb    C          F        Dm
All I need is an Arkansas bride

Bb        C         F              Dm
All I can see is an Ozark mountain sunrise

Bb  C                Dm
500 miles to hide my life

                       Gm
Life, life, to hide my life

           Dm
To hide my life
[Key change 2 frets up] [Verse 3]
Em
Think I'm gonna quit and change my ways

Am
- Settle down and live an honest day

Am
Someone said that crime don't pay

                     Em
But I gotta 'nuff to live on

Em
Think I'm gonna move to Little Rock

Am
Leave my doors without a lock

  Am
I might be a foot without a sock

                  Em
But I got cash to stand on
[Chorus]
C     D         G         Em
All I want is a Tennessee bottle

C     D          G        Em
All I need is an Arkansas bride

C         D         G              Em
All I can see is an Ozark mountain sunrise

C   D                Em
500 miles to hide my life

                       Am
Life, life, to hide my life

           Em
To hide my life

           Am
To hide my life
