F

[Verse 1]
F
 I stole a rag top Cadillac,
 going home I had to cross the tracks.
Bb
 Train was coming when the engine died.
F
 I jumped out and watched the two colide.
C
 I barely had the time to save my hide.
               F
 Can't even do wrong right.

[Verse 2]
F
 Without a dime at 35, I have up on the good life.
Bb                           F
 I robbed a bank with my .45, I was headed for the border line.
C
 When my gas tank went bone dry.
               F
 Can't even do wrong right.

[Chorus]
           Bb                     F
Back where I come from, well they call it hard luck.
         G                             C
But that judge of mine, just called it hard time.

[Solo] 
Bb   F    Bb   C  C C C

[Verse 3]
F
 I'm payin' my dues doing time,
 the wardens teaching me to walk the line.
Bb
 But temptation he's a friend of mine,
F
 he found us a fence to climb.
C
 But then the spot light robbed us blind.
               F
 Can't even do wrong right.

[Chorus]
           Bb                     F
Back where I come from, well they call it hard luck.
         G                             C
But that judge of mine, just called it hard time.
