E
        Riding North on Interstate 75

        With a nervous fading beauty sitting by his side
          A                            E
        And a pistol that he used to pave the way
                                            B7
        Down the long black stretches of a dark highway


Verse 2:
         E
        Ray bought his future with a pound of lead

        When he robbed a liquor store and left the clerk for dead
          A                                 E
        That kid should have put the money in the sack
                                              B7
        But he didn't and now there ain't no turning back


Chorus 1:
                A                     E
        He's a desperate rider, he's a Jesse James
             A                                E
        The best that he could hope for is a household name
               A                   E
        There ain't nobody that a man can trust
                B7                    E
        When all his headlines read, notorious
               A                   E
        There ain't nobody that a man can trust
                B7                    E
        When all his headlines read, notorious


Verse 3:
          E
        They pulled out of ? about12 o'clock

        Took the heatstroke with the lights off to avoid the road block
         A                              E
        Ray killed the motor at the county line
                                           B7
        Changed his Tennessee plates to a lost tag sign


Verse 4:
         E
        She would never ask what the boy had done

        But said she'd be his hostage if he needed one
         A                           E
        Her momma raised her to be loyal and true
                                              B7
        And she figured that's the least that she could do


Chorus 2:
                 A                  E
        She was lost and lonely on a midnight ride
           A                    E
        Reluctant Bonnie to a poorman's Clyde
            A                       E
        It ain't too easy when the man you love
              B7                     E
        Has got a reputation that's notorious
            A                       E
        It ain't too easy when the man you love
              B7                     E
        Has got a reputation that's notorious


Verse 5:
          E
        They were just outside of Knoxville when the lights flashed on

        And the siren's starting howling like hell houndogs
         A                            E
        Ray popped that Firebird into overdrive
                                      B7
        And swore he'd never let them take him alive


Chorus 3:
                  A                     E
        He was a desperate rider, he was Jesse James
             A                                  E
        The best that he'd ever hope for was a household name
              A                    E
        The morning papers didn't say too much
               B7                E
        But his obituairy read, notorious
             A                             E
        The caption by his picture didn't say too much
               B7                E
        But his obituairy read, notorious
             A                             E
        The caption by his picture didn't say too much
               B7                E
        But his obituairy read, notorious

Verse 1:
        D
        I remember waking in the morning
                                        A
        To the sound of the rooster's crow

        Mamma cooking in the kitchen
                                 D
        Arthur Godfrey on the radio


Verse 2:
        D
        Me and Dad were just like strangers
                                A
        We never did see eye to eye

        Came to blows one Sunday morning
                                            D  F  C/G  D
        So i packed my bags and i said goodbye


Chorus:
         /                                        Em
        When you leave that way you can never go back
      A                                  D
        A train won't run on a torn up track
                                     G  D     Em
        Sometimes i wish i'd never roamed,oh no
      A                                                  D
        'cause when you leave that way you can never go home


Verse 3:
         D
        Then i met a girl in Knoxville
                               A
        Oh,we set our wedding day

        I left her standing at the alter
                            D
        With a baby on the way


Chorus.


Bridge:
         G                A              D
        Lord i'd love to see my mom and daddy
              G               A                Bm
        And what i'd give to hold that boy of mine
             G               A                  D
        I'd get down on my knees and i say i'm sorry
          E                               A
        If i could only go back one more time


Verse 4:
         D
        But i killed a man in Houston
                                    A
        When he caught me with his wife

        And i told the preacher man to leave me alone
                                 D
        When he came to read my rights


Chorus bis:
         /                                                      Em
        He said son,when you leave this way you can never come back
      A                                  D
        A soul won't roll on a torn up track
                                     G   D Em
        All through eternity you'll roam alone
      A                                                    D
        'cause when you leave this way you can never come home

                                     G   D Em
        All through eternity you'll roam alone
      A                                                    Bm
        'cause when you leave this way you can never come home
