[Verse]
C G Am
It didn't matter Tommy Jackson was running free
F G
Cause the man he killed never mattered much to me
C G Am
There's talk in our town about where Tommy might run
F G
Wondered if it mattered, he has used my gun
C G Am
80 Miles East of the line down on my grand daddy's farm
F G
He laid low just for the night and he slept there in our barn
C G Am
I watched him steal our Ford and drive away in the sun
F G
18 Years of getting older now a dead man on the run
[Chorus]
C G Am
Isn't love a funny thing with a pistol in your hand
F G
Close you eyes and bow your head to pray if you can
F C Am
Well you sealed your fate when you picked up that shotgun
F C G
18 Years of getting older now a dead man on the run
[Verse 2]
C G Am
For 15 days he kept his conscience between the lines
F G
His ex-wife and a cold jail cell were always on his mind
C G Am
He ran out of money at an east-bound truck stop
F G
But he found work there at Fritz's muffler shop
C G Am
Fritz was a good man and Pamela was his wife
F G
2 kids a nice home and on the surface a good life
C G Am
But drunk on Whisky Pam and Tommy had some fun
F G
18 Years of getting older now a dead man on the run
[Chorus]
C G Am
Isn't love a funny thing with a pistol in your hand
F G
Close you eyes and bow your head to pray if you can
F C Am
Well you sealed your fate when you picked up that shotgun
F C G
18 Years of getting older now a dead man on the run
[Bridge]
C G
Now every Sunday morning she goes down to
Am
the place where he lays
F G
She tells Tommy how she never wanted things this way
C G Am
Rest in Peace Tommy Jackson 1981
F C G
18 Years of getting older now a dead man on the run
[Chorus]
C G Am
Isn't love a funny thing with a pistol in your hand
F G
Close you eyes and bow your head to pray if you can
F C Am
Well you sealed your fate when you picked up that shotgun
F C G
18 Years of getting older now a dead man on the run
