VERSE 1
G D
On my way down to Mexico I stopped for a beer at a Texaco
Cadd9 G
Walked inside and showed the man my gun
G D
He said son now just calm down I pulled back the hammer and I shot him down
Cadd9 G
I figured what the hell I´m livin´on the run
Em Cadd9
Countless days and endless nights truckstop coffee and motel lights
G D
And the sound of the thunder so far away
Em Cadd9
The dessert sounds and the farmers fields, the tired sound of these four wheels
G D
And one more time as I make my get away
Cadd9 D G
And the sound of the thunder so far away
INTERLUDE & SOLO: Em Cadd9 G D / Em Cadd9 G D / Em Cadd9 G D / Cadd9 D G
VERSE 2
G D
Just this side of Mexico I pulled to the side and I slammed the door
Cadd9 G
And looked across the waters of the Rio Grande
G D
Rolled up and smoke and I turned around pulled out a match and I threw it down
Cadd9 G
And headed on across the promised land
Em Cadd9
Countless days and endless nights truckstop coffee and motel lights
G D
And the sound of the thunder so far away
Em Cadd9
The dessert sounds and the farmers fields, the tired sound of these four wheels
G D
And one more time as I make my get away
Cadd9 D Em
And the sound of the thunder so far away
Cadd9 D G
The sound of the thunder so far away
