Held up in a shotgun shack 

not goin’ nowhere soon

Sheriff and his fifty men

under a July moon

Where you gonna run to now, 

you got nowhere to go

Sheriff’s got ya pinned way down, 
     C              G    C G
he's comin’ for your soul
G
Won’t be much longer now 

cause the stars are fillin’ the sky 
D                
We’re gonna kick open the ol’ front door,

we’ll let the bullets fly.

D                     C                                G
Got my back against a wall just like a final curtain call


Verse:

G
Flames stab the darkness, 

lightin’ up the sky

Lead flyin’ through the midnight air 
   C            G    C G
as men begin to die
G            
Life falls around me 

as a gun bucks in my hand
   D
If life is like a desert, 
       C             G     C  G
hell's just a grain of sand
G
Horse race with the hoof beat 

along the riverside
D                                      
Cloud of dust raisin’ up behind 
      C               G       C  G
as we cross the great divide


Chorus:
D 	  	C       D            C
Well I may be goin’ down, I may be headed out,
D                     C                                G
Got my back against a wall just like a final curtain call

That’s the life of an outlaw

Livin’ by the gun

There’s a little bit of outlaw

Inside of everyone

Got my back against a wall just like a final curtain call
