[INTRO: ]Am F G Am 
Am                                  G        Am 
THERE'S A BLACK PRISON HEARSE GONNA COME AND GET ME 
   G                                 Am 
BY DAYLIGHT I WILL PAY FOR WHAT I'VE DONE 
Am               G            Am 
THAT TV MAN WILL NEVER TELL MY STORY 
     G                            F                 Am 
HE'S STANDIN IN THE RAIN, BITCHIN BOUT A DEAD MAN'S SON 
Am               G        Am 
I GREW UP DOWN A DEAD END DIRT ROAD 
G                                     Am 
THAT MAN I SHOT GREW UP WITH A SILVER SPOON 
Am                            F 
WHILE HIS MAMA TUCKED HIM IN, MINE WAS STONED ON GIN 
    G                             Am 
AND HOWLIN' AT A BIG OL' CORNBREAD MOON 
 
 

[Refrão]
Am                 G                Am 
SWEET FORGIVENESS, COULD YA ROLL ME EASY 
  F              G                Am 
I KNOW JESUS GONE AND DONE THE BEST HE CAN 
Am                        G                  Am 
BUT IF HEAVEN'S MY WOMAN, YA'LL NEED TO UNDERSTAND 
         G                     F                  Am 
HELL'S A $2 DOLLAR PISTOL IN A CHEATED MAN'S......HAND 
 
I HELD A LOVE FOR A TRAVELIN' WOMAN 
ROAMED THE DITCHES OF HER HEART, WHERE LOVE IS LOST OR WON 
YEA, SHE SWORE THAT SHE LOVED ME, SHE WAS LAYING DOWN BEHIND ME 
TRYIN TO FILL THAT EMPTY FEELING THAT HER RAISING LEFT UNDONE 
SOME THINGS SHOULD REMAIN UNSPOKEN 
THEM DARKER THINGS THEY SHOULD REMAIN UNDONE 
BUT THE DEVIL HOLD THE REINS OF A HORSE THEY CALL COCAINE 
YOU CAN RIDE ALL NIGHT, BUT YOU NEVER GONNA CATCH THE SUN 
 
IN THE GREY MORNING LIGHT NORTH OF DALLAS 
WITH A SINGLE SHOT THEY DEPARTED THAT SWEET TOWN 
HELL, I AIN'T THAT GOOD AN AIM, I DON'T HAVE TO EXPLAIN 
WHAT THEY WERE DOING WHEN HARD TIMES TOOK'EM DOWN 
 
SWEET FORGIVENESS, COULD YA ROLL ME EASY 
 
I KNOW JESUS GONE AND DONE THE BEST HE CAN 
 
BUT IF HEAVEN'S MY WOMAN, YA'LL NEED TO UNDERSTAND 
 
HELL'S A $2 DOLLAR PISTOL IN A CHEATED MAN'S......HAND
