The kid’s blood hit the fifth row

We saw a flipped-over semi

I felt so bad

Twenty miles out of Yuma  we picked up a girl
    Bm7Bm7          E minorEm
Saddest eyes and rotten teeth
       G+G
Said she was only 16
        Bm7Bm7             E minorEm
We pulled into Mojave and they got a room
     G+G         C majorC
With one bed he got a room
                    G+G
“What the fuck do you think you’re doing ”
      Bm7Bm7            E minor 7Em7
“What’s it matter to you ” He said
  D MajorD        G+G
And led the girl in


🎸 Chorus:
     Bm7Bm7          E minor 7Em7
I started walking down the road
                  C majorC
Called the police from a payphone
             E minorEm   B minorBm          A minorAm
87 dollars and bad nerves
87 dollars and a bag of clothes
                           G+G
And a guilty conscience that gets worse the longer I go
