Verse 1
[Am] [F] [Dm] [Am]
Life of being an evil man has got me on the run
[Am] [F] [Dm] [Am]
Wonder if I could be forgiven for the things that I have done

For god only knows why

He was there when I learned how to drive and when I learned to shoot.
[Am] [F] [Dm] [Am]
He's seen me crush a human skull with the heel of my boot
[Am] [F] [Dm] [Am]
And he's seen me at my lowest point, he's seen me riding high

The pavement knows me by my name
[Am]
We're old friends he and I.

I wish that you could ride, I really miss your gentle touch
[Am] [F] [Dm] [Am]
But I've been rambling on and on, I think I've said too much

So I can let you walk on home

Or leave you in a culvert dead
