Goin' Down In Style Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I left Houston, Texas on a gulf coast
hurricane I was blowed down by a
Tornado washed up by the rain well [G]my pappy
wasn't happy [C]with mehe told me to go
[F]So I stole my [Dm]daddy's [F]Cadillac and [Dm]head
[D]on down the road I [Am]had a grin from ear
To ear with each and every [C]mile [G]I was headed
for the border man and I was [F]going
Down in style
[D]

[Verse 2]
Now I hit Corpus Christi and the wind
was at my back I drove them
Women crazy with my daddy's Cadillac ya [Dm]I
[G]cruised them down that boulevard I
Treated them like queens [D]took em all the places
that they wanted to be seen and
[A]When I had to leave em I'd tell with a smile
im [G]headed for the border man and
I'm [F]going down in style
[D]

[Verse 3]
Well [G]you gotta take your chances if they
ever come along [D]close your
Eyes and listen to the great big engine wind
[Dm]it d[G]ont really matter weather you
Are right or wrong cause [A]when you cross
the border man you leave this world
Behind

[Verse 4]
I [D]stomped on down the peddle set the
cruise control 500 raging horses
Be on by the state patrol lord [G]the sirens
were a screaming lights flashing red
There's a [D]dozen more waitin at the road block
up ahead had [A]them scattering like
Chickens a heard one of them say he's [G]headed
toward the border and he's go[F]ing

[Verse 5]
Now [G]when you cross the border you ain't
never coming back [D]there ain't to
Redemption when the cops are on your tail
when [G]the closest thing to heaven is a
Great big Cadillac [A]the city lights of
Houston or the firey gates of hell well
The [D]nabbed me on the hill that over looks
the Rio Grande and I was feeling just
Like moses looking on the promise land [F]well
they [G]hauled me back to Houston put
Me in the jail where my [D]momma started
crying my daddy paid the bail well I'm
[A]Sorry I'm not there to hear the outcome
of my trial cause I'm [G]headed for the
Border man and I'm [F]going down in style
