STATE LINE BY COODER GRAW
WRITTEN BY MATT MARTINDALE
D-G D-G D-G D-C9 X2
D-G D-
OLD ENOUGH TO FIGHT THE LAW
G D-
SHE GOT CAUGHT AND CHEWED OFF HER ARM
G D-
SHE'S GOT A MAN TWICE HER SPEED
C9 D-
TOO MUCH WATER ON A BAD SEED
G D-
HE MADE BAIL ON A TRUMPED UP CHARGE
G D-
BUT THE COPS MADE LIFE TOO HARD
G D-
SO HE PAWNED SOME THINGS AND QUIET AS MOUSE
C9
BROKE HER OUT OF HER PARENTS HOUSE
CHORUS:
G D C
AND THEY CROSSED THE STATE LINE DOING 95
G D C
STAY IN THE IT'LL DO MOTEL WANTED BY THE LAW CAUSE HE SKIPPED BAIL
G D C
AND HE TELLS HER ONE MORE LIE JUST BEFORE SHE STARTS TO CRY
G D C
AND IF HER DADDY FINDS OUT THAT BOY'S GONNA DIE-E-E
D-G D-G D-G D-C9 (1X)
ANGRY KID HOOKED NICOTENE
JUST LIKE HIS DAD IN JAIL AT 18
NOW HE'S 21 AND IN LOVE WITH A GIRL
JUST A KID NEVER SEEN THE WORLD
HEAD AWAY UP NORTH SOMEWHERE
AIN'T GOT NO MONEY BUT THEY DON'T CARE
THEY JUST ROB A PLACE AND GET SOME MONEY AND CLOTHES
AND GET SOME SPEED UP HER NOSE
CHORUS:
(MUSICAL BREAK....SAME AS THE CHORUS)
D-G D-G D-G D-C9 (1X)
RUN FAR ENOUGH TO CATCH YOURSELF
RUN OUT OF GAS YOU LIKE HELL
CAN'T OUT RUN A POLICE CAR
THEY LOCKED'EM UP AND PUT'EM BEHIND BARS
HER PARENTS CAME AND TOOK HER BACK HOME
HE'S UP NORTH AND NOT ALONE
COUNTY FOOD TASTES LIKE DIRT
HE HUNG HIMSELF WITH A COUNTY SHIRT
CHORUS X 2
