I got home from Wichita a couple days before I thought

Didn't recognize the truck parked in my drive

My boots hit the hardwood floor

Busted through the bedroom door

Guess I must've caught you by surprise

By the time he got his buckle on

I hit the safe and grabbed my gun

You were beggin' me with tears in your eyes

Screamin' "Baby, let him go! You don't want that on your soul."

I said, "A man is gonna die tonight."

I'm chasin' tail lights

Straight as the crow flies

Huntin' justice down a country road

I've got a shotgun, it's ridin' shotgun

And we're both fixin' to unload

Son, I know what you done

There's only one way to outrun me

You better pray your tank don't beat mine to E...

Just blew past the county line

The needle's pushin' ninety-five

I'm on you like a shadow move for move

All you see is my headlights

I see the whites in your eyes

That fear, mirrored in your rearview

Go ahead and ride the gas

Don't think that you're livin', man just 'cause you make it past Dead Man's Curve

Man, as far as I can tell we might both end up in hell

But you're sure as hell goin' first

I'm chasin' tail lights

Straight as the crow flies

Huntin' justice down a country road

I've got a shotgun, it's ridin' shotgun

And we're both fixin' to unload

Son, I know what you done

There's only one way to outrun me

You better pray your tank don't beat mine to E...
