[Verse]
B
I was dealin' up and down the highway
                                   E
Till they caught me with a heavy load
     F#
They sentenced me to hard labor
  E7                           B
Workin' on the side of the road
 
Now I don't deny I was guilty
                        E
And I know I broke the law
F#
I was hungry and broke and couldn't see no hope
            E7                   B
And my back was up against the wall
 
[Chorus]
B
Now I'm right outside your window
                          E
Honey, open up and let me in
    F#
I broke out of jail this mornin'
         E                    B
And I ain't never goin' back again
I just had to stop by for a minute
                           E
And I can't stay long at all
      F#
'Cause I gotta run, you see I'm under the gun
      E7                     B
And my back is up against the wall
 
(Back to first Part of Intro then solo)
 
[Verse]
B
I was shackled to a three-time loser
               E
A man named Jefferson
F#
One night we got to talkin'
    E7                    B
And I asked him what he'd done
 
He said a man fell over my razor
 
In the middle of a bar room brawl
    F#
But don't you see, it was him or me
            E7                   B
And my back was up against the wall
 
[Chorus]
B
Now I'm right outside your window
                          E
Honey, open up and let me in
    F#
I broke out of jail this mornin'
         E                    B
And I ain't never goin' back again
I just had to stop by for a minute
                           E
And I can't stay long at all
      F#
'Cause I gotta run, you see I'm under the gun
      E7                     B
And my back is up against the wall
 
[Outro]
F#
Cause I gotta run, you see I'm under the gun
       E7                    B
And my back is up against the wal
B     F#
Yeah, I gotta run, you see I'm under the gun
       E7                     B
And my back is up against the wall
 
[Outro]
