C                               Am
met a man who could not lie for silver

C                                Am
met a man who could not sing for gold

G                        Am
got out & his hands were shakin'

G                          Am    D  Am
got out somewhere down the road


CHORUS
E|------|

      D   Am           D       Am
gonna be . . . all his life

D                        Am
livin' . . . on mountain time

met a man walkin' by a river
his steps were all his own
got out & his heart was broken
got out somewhere all alone

BDA K

met a man - his soul he could not treason
met a man who would not wave that flag
got out & his hands were shakin'
got out somewhere down the road
