When I was 16, our farm burned down

Went from livin in Heaven, to starvin in hellllll

G+G            D MajorD
Goin nowhere fast, in a one-horse town,
    E minorEm             C majorC
Shot a john in Amarillo, and they took me dooOOooown...

I walked up to the boot to say, everything's alright,
     E minorEm              C majorC
Then the boot pulled out a knife, and threatened my liiiife.
