[Verse 1]
Am
We weren't even supposed to be there
Am
It was just another run
Am
Took a detour cross the river
Am
Make it back home before dawn
Dm
And my hands they took to shaking
Dm
When I see headlights down the road
Am
Mid-July in Arkansas it sure ain't cause I'm cold
G
In my hand I hold a pistol
Dm
In my heart I hold the weight
[Interlude]
Am Am Am Am
[Verse 2]
Am
Well it's been twenty years now
Am
Since my father passed away
Am
It's been me and my brothers since
Am
And we learned to make our way
Dm
One went in the army and one was a marine
Dm
But since they came back home
G
We just been taking what we need
Dm
Never really think about what's outside the law
[Bridge]
G Dm Am Am
And it's a long way back home
G Dm Am Am
And it's a long way back home
Am Am Am Am
[Verse 3]
Am
It wasn't supposed to be like this
Am
Thought no one was around
Am
I never saw it coming
Am
Heard the shots and hit the ground
Dm
That's when the screaming started
Dm
And I started up the car
Am
We headed for I-40
Am
Hope they don't follow that far
G
In my hand I hold a pistol
Dm
In my heart I hold the weight
[Instrumental]
Am Am Am Am
[Bridge]
G Dm Am Am
And it's a long way back home
G Dm Am Am
And it's a long way back home
[Break]
Dm Am
We grew up quick
G Am
We grew up strong
Dm Am G G
Hoping that's enough to get us home
Am Dm G Am
Am Dm G Am
Am Dm G Am
Am Dm G Am
[Outro]
G Dm Am Am
And it's a long way back home
G Dm Am Am
And it's a long way back home
G Dm Am Am
And it's a long way back home
G Dm Am Am
