Shot Full of Holes Jason Boland & The Stragglers
Intro Chordsâ??
[F] [C] [G] [F] [C] [G]
[Am]Heâ??s twent[Am/B]y one an[C]d jealous of th[G]e shadow outside the fence
Got a [C]bible from his [G]cellmate heâ??s seachinâ?? for a[D] 2nd chance
[Am]Hopes than [Am/B]he can [C]make it outside before his [G]little girl learns to talk
[C]Hopes he can get it [G]all figured outâ?? before th[C]e judge says tha[D]t he can walk
Chorus:
Cause itâ??[Em]s hotwired[C], too tired fro[G]m beinâ?? who heâ??s been
[Em]Car theft, [C]whatâ??s left he ainâ[G]??t ever goinâ??[D] back again
He ainâ??[C]t neve[C/B]r goin[G]â?? b[C]ack to ti[C/B]e himself to [G]the whippinâ?? pole
His [F]American dreamâ??s like th[C]e county line sign that he shot full o[G]f holes
And 2-4 donâ??t seem like much till youâ??re stuck in an 8X10
He felt guilty damn near all his life and much more now than then
He wrote a letter to Jesus last night and he nailed it up to the cross
Yeah heâ??s free in his heart but at night in the dark, you know the man heâ??s still the boss
Chorus
He walked through the gate last Thursday and headed on into town
What did he see but a Cadillac there with all itâ??s windows down
Chorus 2:
And itâ??s broke down, hands down,and it's back to who he was
No change it seems strange, it ainâ??t ever been push or shove
And now heâ??s goinâ?? back to tie himself to the whippinâ?? pole
And his American dream like the county sign that he shot full of holes
