Dixie is a scourge and a scar
C D
And a girl in my heart and a state of mind
Am Em D
Jesus is the man with a plan
C D
He's a short haired Mexican friend of mine
Am Em
This small town crowd should've dragged you down
G D
Can't leave your past behind
Am Em D
Wipers in the rain tap out time
G D
Coming up on a new state line
Am Em
I wanna be a jailbird
G D
From the prison of my own damn mind
Am Em
Gonna get me a fast car
G D
Set out and see what I can find
Am Em
Brick up the well of tears and disappear
G D
Leave myself behind
Am Em
Gonna be a jailbird
G D
From the prison of my own damn mind
Am D
Midnight, take a short cut
C D
Through the downtown cemetery
Am D
No stepping on graves
C D
Check the statue of the Virgin Mary
Am D
She's catching moonlight in the shadows
C D
Revealing spider webs
Am D
Can you see the black widow
C D
Hung between our lady's hands?
Am Em
I wanna be a jailbird
G D
From the prison of my own damn mind
Am Em
Gonna get me a fast car
G D
Set out and see what I can find
Am Em
Brick up the well of tears and disappear
G D
Leave myself behind
Am Em
Gonna be a jailbird
G D
From the prison of my own damn mind
Am G
Now used to be when I was young
Am D
I was so hungry for oblivion
Am D
My thoughts would linger
Am D
Like fingers in a deadly web
Am D
But in time as sorrow showed it's face
C D
In kind I learned to ache for grace
Am D
To work and pray to one day Be
C D
delivered whole, alive and free
Am Em
I wanna be a jailbird
G D
From the prison of my own damn mind
Am Em
Gonna get me a fast car
G D
Set out and see what I can find
Am Em
Brick up the well of tears and disappear
G D
Leave myself behind
Am Em
Gonna be a jailbird
G D
From the prison of my own damn mind
