Verse: 
E                      E7 E 
I'm going back to Arkansas 
E                      E7 E 
Got’ta kill my Maw and Paw 
E                         E7 E 
I'm gonna kill my Mom and Dad 
E                              E7 E 
Because they made my life so sad 
E                              E7 E 
I run so fast all night and day 
E                              E7 E 
They haunt my soul in evil ways 
E                           E7 E 
I don’t care what law might do 
E                              E7 E 
Hope your folks are good to you

Verse:    
E                              E7 E 
I stole my neighbor's pickup truck 
E                              E7 E 
And took his daughter for good luck 
E                         E7 E 
I spent all my dough on a gun 
E                        E7 E 
Liquored up to have some fun 
E                                  E7 E 
I drink all night and I feel real fine 
E                                      E7 E 
Cause I roll’in past that old state line 
E                         E7 E 
Driving off all night and day 
E                           E7 E 
Just to show hey on his way

Verse:    
E                            E7 E 
I pull on down the streets of town 
E                              E7 E 
I'd love to burn the fucker down 
E                         E7 E 
And down the road all the way 
E                             E7 E 
Drove right past my brother Hey 
E                              E7 E 
I’m running up the law at night 
E                              E7 E 
They can't see me, there's no light 
E                              E7 E 
Kick down the door, and then I say 
E                              E7 E 
Brace yourself for judgment day

Verse:    
E                  E7 E 
Going back to Arkansas 
E                 E7 E 
Burying my Maw and Paw 
E                   E7 E 
Then I'm going far away 
E                        E7 E 
Where I'm going, I won't say 
E                                  E7 E 
Cause I don't know just where I'll run 
E                            E7 E 
I guess I’ll follow hell’s son 
E                  E7 E 
Maybe north of Mexico 
E                          E7 E 
For I ain’t say’in where I’ll go

Verse:    
E                        E7 E 
I had to kill my Mow and Dad 
E                            E7 E 
Because they beat me up real bad 
E                       E7 E 
My Daddy beat me every day 
E                            E7 E 
For what I done, he wouldn't say 
E                          E7 E 
Leather strap across my back 
E                         E7 E 
Watch my eyes all roll’in back

Verse: 
E                     E7 E 
So I killed my Maw and Paw 
E                        E7 E 
Killed them both in Arkansas 
E                       E7 E 
’You goneâ? get so damn made 
E                          E7 E 
Because I killed my Maw and Dad 
E                               E7 E 
And now I'm running night and day 
E                           E7 E 
Where I’m going I won’t say 
E                                    E7 E 
Just me and the girl in the stolen truck 
E           E7 E 
I hope they ohh..,  
E            E7 E 
It's tough luck...
