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
