Slept an hour in Texarkana on an empty county road
|G                                                          |G G/B bass C
Woke up with a flashlight in my face
            |G                                                        |G                          C
Young deputy saying save your story I don't need to know
             |G                                                         |G G/B bass C
You're going to jail for sleeping in this place

Chorus
          |C                                                 |D
But I did not throw my fists…  or scream at God for this
          |G                                              |G G/B bass C
And I did not put a bullet in my brain
       |G                                              |D
But this young deputy wasn't giving me an inch
             |G                                            |F/G bass C/G bass |G |F/G C/G                                      
For an hour in Texarkana in the rain

For an hour in Texarkana in the rain

Pushed a picture in his hand said that's my first and only child
You know I drove all night from Austin in this rain
She got sick man we tried everything… to hold her in this life
… She died in my arms yesterday

But I shot him with his own gun when he tried… to cuff… my wrists ...
