Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][F][Gsus4][F][C][Bb][G]
[C][G]

[Verse 1]
I was [G]dealin'
up and down the highway
Till they caught me with
a heavy [C]load
They sen[D]tenced me to hard labor
[C]Workin' on the side of the [G]road
Now I don't deny I was guilty
And I know I broke the [C]law
I was [D]hungry and broke and
couldn't see no hope
And [C]my back was up against the wall
[G]

[Verse 2]
Now I'm right outside your window
Honey open up and let me [C]in
[D]I broke out of jail this mornin'
[C]And I ain't never goin' back [G]again
I just had to stop by for a minute
And I can't stay long at [C]all
'Cause [D]I gotta run you see
I'm under the gun
And my [C]back is up against [G]the wall
[Gsus4][F][C]

[Interlude 1]
[Bb][G][C]
[D][C][G][C]
[D][C][G]

[Verse 3]
I was [G]shackled to a three- time loser
A man named Jeffer[C]son
[D]One night we got to talkin'
And I [C]asked him what [G]he'd done
He said a man fell over my razor
In the middle of a barroom [C]brawl
But [D]don't you see it was him or me
And [C]my back was up against the wall
[G]

[Verse 4]
Now I'm right outside your win[Gm]dow
[G]Honey open up and let me in[C]
I [D]broke out of jail this mornin'
And I [C]ain't never goin' back [G]again
I just had to stop by for a minute
And I can't stay long at [C]all
'Cause [D]I gotta run you see
I'm under the gun
And [C]my back is up against the
wall
[G][Gsus4][F][C]

[Verse 5]
[Bb]
Now I'm [G]right outside your win[Bb]dow
Honey open [G]up and let [C]me in
I [D]broke out of jail this mornin'
And I [C]ain't never goin' back [G]again
[Bb]I just[G] had to stop by for a minute
And I can't stay long at [C]all
'Cause [D]I gotta run you see
I'm under the gun
And [C]my back is up against the [G]wall
[D]I gotta run you see I'm under the gun
And [C]my back is up against the [G]wall
[C]Yeah [D]I gotta run you see
I'm under the gun
And my [C]back is up against [G]the wall
