[Intro]
G D C G (x2)
[Verse 1]
G D Well I was born in Bossier Parish, in Northern Louisian' C G Just a few miles south of Fillmore where my daddy owned some land G D And we were thick as a pair of thieves, my buddy Jack and me C G Drinkin' beer and playin' football, fishin' on them creeks
[Chorus]
C G Oh but now my life it seems like some old country song you know D G Lord I just turned 21, and there's no chance of parole C G And I'm doin' life for murder, in this penitentiary D C G Just a young man in Angola, seen the last of bein' free
[Solo]
G D C G
[Verse 2]
G D We graduated high school, back in '98 C G Tried to live the clean life, but the clean life didn't pay G D Then a friend of a friend of a friend of ours had a way to make ends meet C G And he gave us a crash course, in southern chemistry
[Chorus]
C G Oh but now my life it seems like some old country song you know D C G Lord I just turned 21, and there's no chance of parole C G And I'm doin' life for murder, in this penitentiary D C G Just a young man in Angola, seen the last of bein' free

[Verse 3]
G D And then one day it happened, and the wild men got the call C G And Jackie he'd been talkin', with the local law G D They stuck him nearly fifty times and dumped him in the creek C G When the sheriffs found the body, they pointed their bloody hands at me A C And I got a tattoo on my shoulder, I got a number on my chest A C D The tattoo just says Haughton, and that's the place I love the best, yeah
