(I Play Tons Of Hammer Ons all throughout the song) [Verse 1]
DGot out of prison back in '86 and I found a wife Walked the clean and Gnarrow Just trying to stay out and Dstay alive
Got a job at the rendering plant, it isn't going to make me rich
In the darkness before Gdinner comes Sometimes I can Dfeel the itch
[Chorus]
I got a Acold mind to go tripping across that Gthin line I'm sick of doing Dstraight time
[Verse 2]
DMy uncle's at the evening table Makes his living running hot cars Slips me a hundred Gdollar bill says "Charlie you best remember who your Dfriends are"
[Chorus]
I got a Acold mind to go tripping across that Gthin line I'm sick of doing Dstraight time
[Bridge]
Eight Gyears in it feels like you're Dgoing to die You get used to Ganything Sooner or later it just Dbecomes your life
[Verse 3]
DKitchen floor in the evening tossing my little babies high Mary's smiling but she's Gwatching me out of the corner Dof her eye
Seems you can't get any more than half free
I step out onto the Gfront porch and suck the cold air deep iDnside of me
[Chorus]
I got a Acold mind to go tripping across that Gthin line I'm sick of doing Dstraight time
[Bridge]
In the Gbasement hunting gun and a Dhacksaw Sip a beer and Gthirteen inches of barrel drop Dto the floor
[Outro]
DCome home in the evening, can't get the smell from my hands Lay my head down on the Gpillow and Go drifting off into Dforeign lands
