Chords
Austin Prison
A E A
They had a warrant out for me all over country
E
And I was trying to beat two raps in Idaho,
A D
I was breaking into a school house Sunday morning without warning
A E A
When I saw the sheriff coming for me slow from down below
A E A
His steel grey eyes were blazing when he saw me
E
His hand was on his gun when he rode up
A D
He said you killed that woman I know you shot her why'd you do it?
A E A
I'm taking you to Austin and I'm gonna lock you up
A E A
Well he tied me with the plowline the next morning
E
And he had me deep in Texas the next day
A D
A crazy screaming lynch mob waited in streets of Austin
A E A
But he put me in the jailhouse and he threw the key away
A E A
A jury found me guilty three months later
E
Weld evil men with murder in their eyes
A D
They even took me out and said now show us where you killed her
A E A
And that wicked judge said now I hereby sentence you to die
E
But here I am far away from Austin prison my friend the jailor handed me a file
A D
Now all I want between me and there are a lot of friendly people
A E A
And miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
