Cooder Graw - State Line 2 guitar chord

Intro:

D-G D-G D-G D-C

Verse 1:

D G D

Old enough to fight the law

G D

She got caught and chewed off her arm

G D

Got a man twice her speed

C D

Too much water on a bad seed

G D

He made bail on a trumped up charge

G D

Cops had made life too hard

G D

So he pawned some things and quiet as a mouse

C

Broke her out of her parent’s house

Chorus

G D C

They crossed the state line doing 95

G D

Stayed in the It’ll Do Motel

C

Wanted by the law cause he skipped bail

G D

And he tells her one more lie

C

Just before she starts to cry

G D

If her daddy finds them

C

That boy’s gonna die

Verse 2:

Angry kid hooked on nicotine

Just like his dad in jail at eighteen

Now he’s twenty one and in love

With a girl who’s just a kid

And never seen the world

They get away, head up north somewhere

They got no money

But they don’t care

They just rob a place and get some money and clothes

And get some speed up her nose

Chorus

Verse 3:

Run far enough you catch yourself

Run out of gas and you run like hell

Can’t outrun a police car

They locked them up and put them behind bars

Her parents came and took her back home

He’s up north and all alone

County food tastes like dirt

He hung himself with a county shirt

Chorus
