[D][G]

[Verse 1]
Over [G]in the valley, down
Elk
Creek
Road
[C]Drove up to the mountain and
[D]watched the river [G]flow
Mama's in the kitchen and
daddy's on the farm
I [C]looked down and I saw him and
grabbed [D]my daddy's [G]arm
Took off down the hillside,
opened up the door
[C]As I landed on my feet I
[D]reached for the [G]door
Then I pulled the trigger and
I watched him hit the ground
[C]Scared me half to death then
I [D]took off for [G]the town
Let [D]her blow down the [G]road
I'm on the [D]run, nowhere to [G]go
No turnin' [D]back, no droppin' [G]things
I'll [F]pick up
God's [D]grace and countin'
[G]days

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

[Verse 2]
Rollin' down [G]the highway
Nowhere to run
Think[C]in' I just shot a man
I [D]killed him with my [G]gun
Gunnin' 95
As fast as I can go
[C]Now my engine's runnin' hot
I [D]hope that it don't [G]blow
Rain is fallin'
The air outside is cold
[C]It's turnin' night now
The [D]stars don't even [G]show
Flying down the mountain,

[Verse 3]
feeling mighty blue
[C]Did I do the right thing,
well [D]I guess I'll never [G]know
Let [D]her roll

[Verse 4]
down the [G]road

[Verse 5]
[G]I'm on the [D]road, nowhere to [G]go
No turning [D]back,

[Verse 6]
no time to [G]lose
I [F]think I've got the

[Verse 7]
[D]grace and kind
it [G]needs

[Verse 8]
[G]Flying through the battle,
He lied straight ahead
The [C]man was down on the ground
And his [D]rags were in [G]red
He walked up to my window
Why are you alone?
Two [C]men escaped from prison,
now [D]one of them is [G]gone.
I told them they could fight till
my home on the ground.
He [C]tried to rob and kill my dad,
so I [D]shot that man [G]down.
Drove out to the farm,
the man was not yet dead.
[C]In my mind I can't forget the
last [D]words that [G]he said.
Hang [D]on, let her roll down the [G]road I'm on the [D]run,
nowhere to [G]go
No turning back[D],
no time to [G]lose I [F]think I've got the
[D]Grayson

[D]Grayson
County [G]blues[F][C][F][G]
