Capo 1st fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Verse 1
Riding North on Interstate 75
With a nervous fading beauty sitting by his side
And a pistol that he used to pave the way
Down the long black stretches of a dark highway
Verse 2
Ray bought his future with a pound of lead
When he robbed a liquor store and left the clerk for dead
That kid should have put the money in the sack
But he didn't and now there ain't no turning back
Chorus 1
He's a desperate rider, he's a Jesse James
The best that he could hope for is a household name
There ain't nobody that a man can trust
When all his headlines read, notorious
There ain't nobody that a man can trust
When all his headlines read, notorious
Verse 3
They pulled out of ? about12 o'clock
Took the heatstroke with the lights off to avoid the road block
Ray killed the motor at the county line
Changed his Tennessee plates to a lost tag sign
Verse 4
She would never ask what the boy had done
But said she'd be his hostage if he needed one
Her momma raised her to be loyal and true
And she figured that's the least that she could do
Chorus 2
She was lost and lonely on a midnight ride
Reluctant Bonnie to a poorman's Clyde
It ain't too easy when the man you love
Has got a reputation that's notorious
It ain't too easy when the man you love
Has got a reputation that's notorious
Verse 5
They were just outside of Knoxville when the lights flashed on
And the siren's starting howling like hell houndogs
Ray popped that Firebird into overdrive
And swore he'd never let them take him alive
Chorus 3
He was a desperate rider, he was Jesse James
The best that he'd ever hope for was a household name
The morning papers didn't say too much
But his obituairy read, notorious
The caption by his picture didn't say too much
But his obituairy read, notorious
The caption by his picture didn't say too much
But his obituairy read, notorious

Verse 1
I remember waking in the morning
To the sound of the rooster's crow
Mamma cooking in the kitchen
Arthur Godfrey on the radio
Verse 2
Me and Dad were just like strangers
We never did see eye to eye
Came to blows one Sunday morning
So i packed my bags and i said goodbye
Chorus
/
When you leave that way you can never go back
A train won't run on a torn up track
Sometimes i wish i'd never roamed,oh no
'cause when you leave that way you can never go home
Verse 3
Then i met a girl in Knoxville
Oh,we set our wedding day
I left her standing at the alter
With a baby on the way
Chorus.
Bridge
Lord i'd love to see my mom and daddy
And what i'd give to hold that boy of mine
I'd get down on my knees and i say i'm sorry
If i could only go back one more time
Verse 4
But i killed a man in Houston
When he caught me with his wife
And i told the preacher man to leave me alone
When he came to read my rights
Chorus bis

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