E

I got home from Wichita

A couple days before I thought

Didn't recognize the truck parked in my drive

My boots hit the hardwood floor

Busted through the bedroom door

Guess I must've caught you by surprise

By the time he got his buckle on

I hit the safe and grabbed my gun

You were begging me with tears in your eyes

Screaming, baby, let him go

You don't want that on your soul

I said, a man is gonna die tonight

I'm chasing tail lights

Straight as the crow flies

Hunting justice down a country road

I've got a shotgun, it's riding shotgun

And we're both fixing to unload

Son, I know what you done

There's only one way to outrun me

You better pray your tank don't beat mine to E

Just blew past the county line

That needles's pushing ninety-five

I'm on you like a shadow move for move

All you see is my headlights

I see the whites in your eyes

That fear mirrored in your rearview

Go ahead and ride the gas

Don't think that you're living, man

Just 'cause you make it past dead man's curve

Man, as far as I can tell

We might both end up in hell

But you're sure as hell going first

I'm chasing tail lights

Straight as the crow flies

Hunting justice down a country road

I've got a shotgun, it's riding shotgun

And we're both fixing to unload

Son, I know what you done

There's only one way to outrun me

You better pray your tank don't beat mine to E

I'm chasing tail lights

Straight as the crow flies

Hunting justice down a country road

I've got a shotgun, it's riding shotgun

And we're both fixing to unload

Son, I know what you done

There's only one way to outrun me

You better pray your tank don't beat mine to E
