[Verse 1]
Dm
I broke the law and I used a gun
G
Broke the Ten Commandments one by 
one
G
Always wished that I had a son
                  Dm
Just to teach him not to

Dm
Lived in the valley and I hid in the
 hills
G
Stole moonshine from illegal stills
G
Folks said "Don't rile him 'cause he
 may kill"
                 Dm
But only if I've got to


[Chorus]
Bb    C         F         Dm
All I want is a Tennessee bottle
Bb    C          F        Dm
All I need is an Arkansas bride
Bb        C         F            
All I can see is an Ozark 
  Dm
mountain sunrise
Bb  C                F
500 miles to hide my life
                       G
Life, life, to hide my life
           Dm
To hide my life


Continues after the ad
[Verse 2]
Dm
I tried to farm and I tried to mine
G
Tried cuttin' on the timberline
G
Pain and sweat was all I'd find
                 Dm
Rewarding all my labor

   Dm
So I robbed banks and I robbed 
trains
G                 F
Lost one eye in a poker game
G
Gave up gambling 'cause it's such a 
shame
                          Dm
To cheat your friends and neighbors


[Chorus]
Bb    C         F         Dm
All I want is a Tennessee bottle
Bb    C          F        Dm
All I need is an Arkansas bride
Bb        C         F            
All I can see is an Ozark 
  Dm
mountain sunrise
Bb  C                F
500 miles to hide my life
                       G
Life, life, to hide my life
           Dm
To hide my life

[Verse 3]
Em
Think I'm gonna quit and change my 
ways
Am
- Settle down and live an honest day
Am
Someone said that crime don't pay
                     Em
But I gotta 'nuff to live on

Em
Think I'm gonna move to Little Rock
Am
Leave my doors without a lock
  Am
I might be a foot without a sock
                  Em
But I got cash to stand on


[Chorus]
C     D         G         Em
All I want is a Tennessee bottle
C     D          G        Em
All I need is an Arkansas bride
C         D         G            
All I can see is an Ozark 
  Em
mountain sunrise
A   D                G
500 miles to hide my life
                       A
Life, life, to hide my life
           Em
To hide my life
           A
To hide my life
           N.C.
To hide my life
