Turnpike Troubadours - Angola

Well I was ^Gborn in Bossier Parish, in N^Dorthern Louisian? Just a ^Cfew miles south of Fillmore where my d^Gaddy owned some land And ^Gwe were thick as a pair of thieves, my ^Dbuddy Jack and me ^CDrinkin? beer and playin? football, f^Gishin? on them creeks

Oh but ^Cnow my life it seems like some old c^Gountry song you know Lord I j^Dust turned 21, and there?s no chance of parol^Ge And I?m ^Cdoin? life for murder, in this p^Genitentiary Just a ^Dyoung man in Angola, seen the l^Cast of bein? f^Gree

We ^Ggraduated high school, b^Dack in ?98 ^CTried to live the clean life, but the c^Glean life didn?t pay Then a ^Gfriend of a friend of a friend of ours had a ^Dway to make ends meet And ^Che gave us a crash course, in s^Gouthern chemistry

Oh but ^Cnow my life it seems like some old c^Gountry song you know Lord I j^Dust turned 21, and there?s no c^Chance of paro^Gle And I?m ^Cdoin? life for murder, in this p^Genitentiary Just a ^Dyoung man in Angola, seen the l^Cast of bein? f^Gree

And ^Gthen one day it happened, and the ^Dwild men got the call And J^Cackie he?d been talkin?, w^Gith the local law They ^Gstuck him nearly fifty times and dum^Dped him in the creek When the ^Csheriff?s found the body, they pointed their ^Gbloody hands at me

And I got a t^Aattoo on my shoulder, I got a num^Cber on my chest The t^Aattoo just says ?Hot?, and that?s the pl^Cace I love the best^D, yeah
