The Bolton Stretch
Verse 1
C Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â F Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â C
He cracks a wicked smile, had his foot pressed to the floor
C Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â F Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â C
  Flyin' down country roads that he's been down before
C Â Â Â Â Â Â F Â Â Â Â Â C Â Â Â D
One of just three men that the sheriff cannot catch
Am      D       C C F C (2x)
And he's travelin' 90 miles an hour, down the Bolton Stretch  Â
Verse 2
C Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â F Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â C
The first time we had seen his face was back in '84
C Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â F Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â C
He walked right into old O'Hares, he robbed that liquor store
C Â Â Â Â Â Â F Â Â Â Â Â C Â Â Â D
The sheriff tried to catch him but the man he got away
Am      D        C         C F C (2x)
And he didn't show his face in town again until today
Chorus:
   Am                      C
He Didn't come for justice, didn't come to make amends
Am                         C
Doesn't ask forgiveness, he's not looking to make friends
Am               C     D      C
Just that he was passing through with money wearin' thin
        D                   C    F C
Now he's travelin' down the Bolton Stretch again
Verse 3
C Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â F Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â C
He watches all the trees fly by, but doesn't seem to care
C Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â F Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â C
Knows it's time to leave again, but doesn't know to where
C Â Â Â Â Â Â F Â Â Â Â Â C Â Â Â D
And though he stole a lot of money, it's not enough for bail
Am      D        C         C F C (2x)
And there are two blue lights behind him now, the sheriff's on his trail
Chorus:
   Am                      C
He Didn't come for justice, didn't come to make amends
Am                         C
Doesn't ask forgiveness, he's not looking to make friends
Am                  C     D      C
Just that he was passing through with money wearin' thin
        D                  C    F C
Now he's travelin' down the Bolton Stretch again
Verse 4
C Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â F Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â C
Since the day that he was born he spent his whole live livin' free
C Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â F Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â C
With nothing but the loosest ties to friends and family
C Â Â Â Â Â Â F Â Â Â Â Â C Â Â Â D
No punishment will make him care about the things he's done
Am      D        C         C F C (2x)
And if he lives another 20 years he'll live 'em on the run
Chorus:
   Am                      C
He Didn't come for justice, didn't come to make amends
Am                         C
Doesn't ask forgiveness, he's not looking to make friends
Am                   C     D      C
Just that he was passing through with money wearin' thin
        D                C    F C
Now he's travelin' down the Bolton Stretch again
