GIt didn't Dmatter Tommy EmJackson was running free D CCause the Gman he killed never Cmattered much to Dme GThere’s talk iDn our town abouEmt where Tommy might ruDn CWondered if it Gmattered, Dhe has used my gun ss G D Em D|| 80 Miles East of the line down on my grand daddy's farm-i CHe laid low Gjust for the night and he Cslept there in our Dbarn GI watched him Dsteal our Ford and drive Emaway in the sun D 18 CYears of getting Golder now a Ddead man on the Crun
Chorus:
CIsn't love a Dfunny thing with a Empistol in your hand D CClose you eyes and Gbow your head to Dpray if you can CWell you Dsealed your fate when you Empicked up that shotgun D 18 CYears of getting Golder now a Ddead man on the Crun, on the Grun
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
