Tommy Jackson Randy Rogers Band
Capo 5
[G]It didn't [D]matter Tommy [Em]Jackson was running free [D]
[C]Cause the [G]man he killed never [C]mattered much to [D]me
[G]There's talk in [D]our town about [Em]where Tommy might run [D]
[C]Wondered if it [G]mattered, [D]he has used my gun
[G]80 Miles [D]East of the line down on [Em]my grand daddy's farm [D]
[C]He laid low [G]just for the night and he [C]slept there in our [D]barn
[G]I watched him [D]steal our Ford and drive [Em]away in the sun [D]
18 [C]Years of getting [G]older now a [D]dead man on the [C]run
Chorus:
[C]Isn't love a funny[D] thing with a pistol in you[Em]r hand [D]
[C]Close you eyes and bow your head[G] to pray if you can [D]
[C]Well you sealed yo[D]ur fate when you picked up that shotgu[Em]n [D]
[C]18 Years of getting older n[G]ow a dead man on the [D]run, on the run[C] [G]
For 15 days Tommy kept his conscience between the lines
His ex-wife and a cold jail cell were always on his mind
He ran out of cash at an east-bound truck stop
But he found work there at Fritz's muffler shop
Fritz was a good man and Pamela was his wife
2 kids a nice home and on the surface a good life
But drunk on Whisky Pam and Tommy had some fun
18 Years of getting older now a dead man on the run
Chorus
Now every Sunday morning she goes down to the place where he lays
She tells Tommy how she never wanted things this way
Rest in Peace Tommy Jackson 1981
18 Years of getting older now a dead man on the run
Chorus
