Well I used to pray to Jesus but I done backslid 
G                        Am 
Carrying the burdens of a preacher's kid 
F                          C 
Drinking at the pulpit and healing them lame 
G                         Am 
Daddy was a-riding on the old death train 

  F                      C 
I had me a woman but she took my kid 
       G                          Am 
When I gambled all our money on a moonshine still 
F                             C 
Now I drink my whiskey from a beat up flask 
     G                            Am  
This train done departed and it's goin' fast

G  
Airplane on a sunny day 
      F           C            F        C         Am 
And I can't break free cause I can't believe it's me 
        F         C          F      C               
So I'll take your bets, I'll try me walking down 
  G  
A narrow line with a life like mine 
           F     C       F     C         Am 
And you'll never see any boy as brave as me

She never knew her mama or the money I've known

    G                  Am 
Why I was escaping anyway that I could 
F                      C 
Nobody knows I'm gonna ride these rails 
         G                    Am 
'Til the dark comes over this prison cell 

      F             C             F      C
