Run Away High

[Intro] Am  Em  F7M  C

[First Part]

Am            Em                
Every night's another bar and a 
F7M          C
bottle in my hand
Am                        Em     
These cheap cigars, they burn my 
          F7M            C
lungs but I don't give a damn
Am                    Em          
And all the sins I've made time I 
F7M               C
oughta be dead by now
Am         Em                  
I'm going down this road, just 
F7M            C
keep on headed south

[Chorus]

Am                Em         F7M
'Cause I'm coming down off a run
      C
 away high
Am             Em             
These cops are on my tail but 
F7M            C
I don't really mind
Am           Em               
'Cause I could be gone in the 
F7M         C
blink of an eye
Continues after the ad
Am                 Em           
So, what's one more sin before I
F7M              C
 reach the Baton bayou

[Second Part]

Am                Em            
I heard she met a good old man 
F7M        C
down in the sticks
Am             Em                
He was lookin' sharp as a knife, 
F7M                C
hell he's probably 36
Am                  Em        
Well, he crossed my path so I 
F7M                   C
pulled out my old six-shot
Am           Em            F7M  
Then I put a piece of lead right
             C
 through his heart

[Chorus]

Am                Em         F7M
'Cause I'm coming down off a run
      C
 away high
Am             Em             
These cops are on my tail but 
F7M            C
I don't really mind
Am            Em              
'Cause I could be gone in the 
F7M         C
blink of an eye
Am                 Em           
So, what's one more sin before I
F7M              C
 reach the Baton bayou

Am         Em         F7M      C
I'm coming down off a run away high
Am             Em             
These cops are on my tail but 
F7M            C
I don't really mind
Am            Em              
'Cause I could be gone in the 
F7M         C
blink of an eye
Am                 Em           
So, what's one more sin before I
F7M              C
 reach the Baton bayou

I'm coming down off a runaway high

These cops are on my tail, but I 
don't really mind

Cause could be gone in the blink of 
an eye

So, what's there more to say before 
I reach the Baton bayou?
