It didn't matter Tommy Jackson was running free
C G C D
Cause the man he killed never mattered much to me
G D Em D
There?s talk in our town about where Tommy might run
C G D
Wondered if it mattered, he has used my gun

80 Miles East of the line down on my grand daddy's farm
C G C D
He laid low just for the night and he slept there in our barn
G D Em D
I watched him steal our Ford and drive away in the sun

18 Years of getting older now a dead man on the run

Isn't love a funny thing with a pistol in your hand
C G D
Close you eyes and bow your head to pray if you can
C D Em D
Well you sealed your fate when you picked up that shotgun
C G D C G
18 Years of getting older now a dead man on the run, on the run
For 15 days Tommy kept his conscience between the lines
