Intro Riff (3 times) - pause

[Chorus]
N.C.                Am
I’m Drivin’ through Texas, down from New Orleans
                Dm                Am
Spendin’ all my money, buying Gasoline
              Dm                        Am
Hiding in the Shadows, runnin’ from the law
                    F      G             Am
I’m drivin’ through Texas, bound for Mexico

N.C.              Am
A jealous-hearted man, a woman that lied
                Dm                       Am
It ended with a bullet right between the eyes
              Dm                          Am
Yesterday the Sheriff was knockin’ on the door
                    F     G             Am
I’m drivin’ through Texas bound for Mexico

[Bridge - same chord pattern]

[Chorus]
N.C.                Am
I’m Drivin’ through Texas, down from New Orleans
                Dm                Am
Spendin’ all my money, buying Gasoline
              Dm                        Am
Hiding in the Shadows, runnin’ from the law
                    F      G             Am
I’m drivin’ through Texas, bound for Mexico


N.C.                Am
Take a letter to my mother a message from her son
                  Dm                         Am
I’m living with a finger on the Trigger of a gun
                   Dm                     Am
But mama don’t you worry don’t you cry no more
                    F     G             Am
I’m drivin’ through Texas bound for Mexico

Spendin’ all my money, buying Gasoline
              Dm                        Am
Hiding in the Shadows, runnin’ from the law
