[Verse 1]
Caught F#mhell down on that county line he said
"AGeorgia law man, he ain't taking whats mine"
And DI knew it came a little too soon, my dear.
Cause he's been F#mfighting his way through the southern states,
With a Abottle of whiskey and a few mistakes
And then Dfell right into love with a girl named Grace
[Chorus]
F#m * A *
He said "Well I died today when you took my breath away
With that DOklahoma sunshine on your face,
And I'd F#mfind a way Ato promise you forever
Even if foDrever means
I'm gonna have to sell my soul today"
[Verse 2]
So they F#mrode together just a raisin' Cain,
ACheating death outta them poker games
And then Dknocking out the back door
On the back way out of town
Well the F#mmarshals boys never far behind and then
AWest Virginia had on the horizon
DHe thought it best to let her know right now. He said
[Chorus 2]
F#m * A *
"We could have died today, but I loved you all the way
And I'd Dgo right down to hell just to set you free
And I'd F#mfind a way Ato promise you forever
Even if forDever means dying right here with you next to me"
