Em                        G D                  Am   C 
Well I?ve been hell hounded by a pack of wild lies 
Em                  G D                  Am     C 
I?ve been dumbfounded by the fools you idolize 
Am                        G 
Spellbound by boredom too blind to realize 
            D 
I forgot to tell the truth, forgot to act with proof 
    Am             C 
Or look into your eyes 

G       Am 
On the straight and narrow 
C                  D            G 
Be aware of which side you may fall 
       Am                 C 
Its so hard to walk that line 
                   D            G 
When you?re just learnin?  (to crawl) 
 
 
Em                             G        D 
Now a desperate wind blows through me 
                      Am     C 
I'm a torn up window screen 
Em                  G                           D 
You handed me your blanket, it?s full of holes 
                           Am   C                   
To match your promises unseen 
Em                                
That same wind that shakes your bonnet 
G                 
Rattles your lushest green 
                      D              
And it blows into the head of every redneck son 
       Am                 C 
With a bitterness unseen 
 
 
BRIDGE 
Em  C              Am D                   Em 
No you can?t leave it, you don?t love it 
    C            Am D 
You don?t even try to rise above it 
 
 
 
CHORUS 
 
 
Em                      G     D                    Am     C       
Now I?ve been an honest outlaw, and a preacher man thievin' 
Em                    G D                   Am     C  
A well contented beggar, And a millionaire grieving 
Em 
I have taken many trains in this life 
           G 
That have stopped a little east of even 
               D 
And that?s an obvious excuse to throw your hands up and refuse 
         Am              C 
To have something to believe in
