verse 1
Em
Johnny loved his daddy's gun
Bm
He loved the farmer's daughter
Em
She loved the sheriff's only son
But loved what Johnny bought her
Em
She met the sheriff's joy and pride
Bm
They met in darkness, late
Em
While Johnny met his darker side
G
And they all would meet their fate
Em
Running, but he's not a coward
G
Always hiding from his crime
Em
A step away from being devoured
G
Just a victim of his time
Em
He runs the night, his gun a blazing
G
He knows the sheriff won't forgive
Em
Hell bent on hell raising
Em G
He'll live or die a fugitive
verse 2
Em
She wore a dress that Johnny bought
Bm
She wore it for the son
The son, he wore a yellow spot
G Em
And Johnny wore a gun
The sheriff's son turned pale with fright
Bm
He turned tail and fled
Em
Johnny's gun turned out his light
G Em
And turned his yellow red
Em
Running, but he's not a coward
G
Always hiding from his crime
Em
A step away from being devoured
G
Just a victim of his time
Em
He runs the night, his gun a blazing
G
He knows the sheriff won't forgive
Em
Hell bent on hell raising
He'll live or die a fugitive
