G Cadd9 G Cadd9
Yeah, I'd give this last wrinkled dollar in my pocket that I earned With a hammer and vice

When you cross the line, you get what you get
Chorus:

Tonight, a bleeding memory is tomorrow's guilty vein
Am D G Em
Your auburn hair on a faraway sea wall, screams across the Pontchartrain
Am D G Em
I'm haunted by headlights and a Crescent City breeze
C D C D G Cadd9
One wrong turn on Bourbon cuts like the knives of New Orleans
G Cadd9 G Cadd9
I'm a ghost dodging bullets in all of these alleys just looking for my getaway keys
G Cadd9 G Cadd9
Wrapped up in the night, hiding out in plain sight but this grip's getting tight around me

Ain't no getting out that I can see
G Cadd9
They'll take me dead, if they ever take me
