He woke up in the mornin' 
             A          Bm 
He found the note she'd left 
         A 
'said im leavin' with the dog 
          Bm     A       Bm 
An' we're headed way out west

And then he heard a knockin' 
                    A      Bm 
It was the landlord at the door 
              A

Bm 
He went down to the fact'ry 
            A            Bm 
The foreman said "you're late" 
   A 
He called down for security to 
Bm         A      Bm 
Escort him to the gate 

Bm 
'said dont bother comin' back kid 
                A         Bm

He pulled his delta 88 
                 A Bm 
Up to the fillup 66 
               A 
Pulled out his rouger 44 
       Bm        A         Bm 
An' he walked in the front door 

Bm 
Said "give me all your money sir, 
            A     Bm 
And i'll be on my way" 
       A 
But he should have seen it comin' 
       Bm      A     Bm

The clerk apologized 
                      A      Bm 
Said "theres no money in the till, 
  A 
A woman and a dog just robbed me, 
         Bm       A      Bm 
Stole my last one dollar bill 

Bm 
So put away that gun, 
             A        Bm 
The cops are on there way, 
    A 
You ain't done nothin' wrong yet son, 
     Bm       A    Bm 
Just turn and walk away" 
Bm                 A     Bm 
But it was not his lucky day 
Bm             A     Bm

Bm 
He cussed and he kicked the floor 
                        A        Bm 
And then he walked back out that door 
   A 
It sounded just like thunder 
      Bm        A      Bm 
Seven shotguns' deadly roar 
Bm 
His body danced and twisted 
                   A    Bm 
Just like a puppet on a string 
   A 
He came to rest in a bloody mess 
    Bm         A    Bm 
Up against the coke machine 

Bm             A     Bm 
It was not his lucky day 
Bm             A     Bm
