Chorus:
CHe cracks a wicked smile, had Fhis foot pressed to thCe floor
C Flyin' down countryF roads that he's been down bCefore
COne of just thFree men that Cthe sheDriff cannot catch
Am D C C F C (2x)
And he's travelin' 90 miles an hour, down the Bolton Stretch
CThe first time we had seen hisF face was back in '84 C
CHe walked right into old O'HarFes, he robbed that liqCuor store
CThe sheriff trFied to catch Chim butD the man he got away
Am D C C F C (2x)
And he didn't show his face in town again until today
He DidAmn't come for justice, didn't come to make amCends
AmDoesn't ask forgiveness, he's not looking to make Cfriends
AmJust that he was passing throughC with moneDy wearin' tChin
Now he's traveliDn' down the Bolton Stretch again C F C
CHe watches all the trees fly bFy, but doesn't seem toC care
CKnows it's time to leave againF, but doesn't know to Cwhere
CAnd though he Fstole a lot oCf moneyD, it's not enough for bail
Am D C C F C (2x)
And there are two blue lights behind him now, the sheriff's on his trail
He DidAmn't come for justice, didn't come to make amCends
AmDoesn't ask forgiveness, he's not looking to make Cfriends
AmJust that he was passing through witCh money weDarin' thin C
Now he's traveliDn' down the Bolton Stretch again C F C
CSince the day that he was bornF he spent his whole liCve livin' free
CWith nothing but the loosest tFies to friends and famCily
CNo punishment Fwill make himC care aDbout the things he's done
Am D C C F C (2x)
And if he lives another 20 years he'll live 'em on the run
He DidAmn't come for justice, didn't come to make amCends
AmDoesn't ask forgiveness, he's not looking to make Cfriends
AmJust that he was passing through with Cmoney wearDin' thin C
Now he's traveliDn' down the Bolton Stretch againC F C
