Verse 1:

Em They caught hell down On that county line G He said, 'Georgia law man, He ain't taking what's mine!' C And I knew it came a little Too soon my dear Em 'Cause he'd been fighting his way Through the Southern States G With a bottle of whiskey and A few mistakes C And then fell right into love With a girl named Grace
Em He said, 'Well I died today G When you took my breath away C With that Oklahoma sunshine on your face Em And I'd find a way G To promise you forever C Even if forever means I'm gonna Have to sell my soul today'

Verse 2:

Em So they rode together Just-a raising Cain G Cheatin' death out of them poker games C And then knockin' on The bank on the back way out of town Em With the marshal's boys never G Far behind and then West Virginia out On the horizonght now C He thought it best to let Her know right now
Em He said, 'We could've died today G But I loved you all the way C And I'd go right down to Hell Just to set you free Em And I'd find a way G To promise you forever C Even if forever means dying right Here with you next to me' Am Em Am Em Oo__oh, oo__oh Am Em I said oo__oh, oh Am G C Oo__oh

Em So when Hell came down on That county line G And all they could remember was the Oklahoma sunshine C She looked at him and he Looked away, he said; Em 'I heard West Virginia looks G Just like heaven and right here's About as close as were getting and I- C I don't think were going to Win this one but hey'
Em We're gonna die today, G But I've loved you all the way C And I'd go right down to Hell Just to set you free Em And I'd find a way G To promise you forever C Even if forever means dying right Here with you next to me Am Em Am Em Oo__oh, oo__oh Am Em I said oo__oh, oh Am G C Em Oo_oh
