I was born right here in Zion, God's own son

His Holy Ghost stories and bloodshed never scared me none

While they bowed their heads on Sunday

In the west hills

Some nights we drive up the mouth of the canyon

On hillbilly heroin pills

We get out and watch the sunset

Peaceful and still

When the sheriff kicked my door down

I was sleeping in my own bed
    C minorCm        AbAb
And the mess I got caught up in
    Eb MajorEb       Bb majorBb
Rained hard down on my head
   C minorCm     AbAb         Eb MajorEb        Bb majorBb
They got me for possession of them hillbilly heroin pills
C minorCm         AbAb       Eb MajorEb        Bb majorBb
Enough to kill the horses that run free in the west hills

    C minorCm         AbAb
If this life was meant for proving
    Eb MajorEb        Bb majorBb
I could use more years to live
  C minorCm        AbAb
But fifteen in a guardhouse
    Eb MajorEb            Bb majorBb
That's more than I'm willing to give
       C minorCm        AbAb
And if there really is a judgement
Eb MajorEb        Bb majorBb
When He pulls my chart
C minorCm       AbAb
He'll reject my actions
Eb MajorEb         Bb majorBb
But He will know my heart
C minorCm            AbAb
And he'll prepare a place for me
   Eb MajorEb         Bb majorBb
Where happiness instills
          C minorCm           AbAb
And the light puts its loving hands on my head

Free in the west hills

They got me for possession of enough to kill the horses that run
