Sadie got a six gun, she ain’t afraid to use it
The banker took us straight down to the safe and I blew it
The sheriff heard a big bang in the broad daylight
And by the time the smoke cleared we were nowhere in sight

Sadie got an Mustang, an old ’64
Sadie got the top down and her foot to the floor
Lights in the rearview, got the fuzz on our tail
Better give me that scattergun, baby I ain’t goin’ back to jail

Sadie got a hideout off of 71
We’ll count up all the money, ditch the car and the guns
Sadie says she loves me, I’ll always be her man
“And I’ll see you in Rio honey, we gotta stick to the plan”

I woke up in the hayloft to the rooster’s crow
No sign of Sadie, no sign of the dough
I’m heading to the airport, I got a little brass key
I got a ticket and a passport, locker 32-B

Open up the blue box, there ain’t nothing inside
I been played like a fiddle, I’ve been taken for a ride
Sadie made a phone call in the middle of the night
They’ve got the place surrounded with the black and white

I got myself a hostage in a Delta skirt
“Do as I tell you and nobody gets hurt
Show me where your car’s parked, you’re gonna have to drive
Because I’ll be hiding in the backseat with a .45″

“Get me through the roadblock, better drive real slow
Better play your cards right and I’ll let you go”
And I hear my heart a pounding as fast as it can
I hear the copper askin’ ‘Have you seen this man?’

Delta kept her mouth shut like a good girl should
“And you’re free to go now ‘cuz you done real good”
Now I got a suitcase and a thumb in the air
I don’t know where I’m goin’ and I don’t really care

Bubba’s got a big rig and an empty seat
We’re headin’ to Laredo, it’s alright with me
I’ll check into a hotel in old Mexico
I gotta wait until it cools down, I’m gonna lay a little low

Well I don’t miss the money, I don’t miss the guns
Well I sure miss Sadie even after all she’s done
Yea, Sadie left me hanging and she told a lotta lies
Well it’s true what they say boys, true love never dies

True true love
True true love

Chorus:
There’s no denying my misery
I couldn't hide it if I wanted to
You want the credit but can’t you see
These tears [Em/F#]don’t fall for you

Verse 2:
I got a lot of things that get me down
And I don't waste my time on you
It ain’t a tough enough memory
To compare with what I been through

(Chorus)

Bridge:
These blues are a long time co[-]min[-]’
Saved up for a rainy day[-][-]
These tears are not yours fallin’

Chorus (2x)

Outro: G A D G A D

I can make you a believer in fate
Divine intervention and signs of the sun
You came to me not a moment too late
With death at my door and time on the run
And destiny surrounds you
But now that I’ve found you

Chorus:
I’m never gonna let you go
I’d be lost without you now
I’m never gonna let you go
You’re the one sure thing I??ve found
So you better stick around

I can feel you from across the room
Laughing eyes are staring me down
You come to me not a moment too soon
Revealing your secrets without a soundP>
And mystery surrounds you
Baby now that I’ve found you

Chorus

Night comes calling, you’re with me now
And I’m at peace within my dreams
‘Cause sometimes dreaming is wiser than waking
Where nothing’s ever as it seems

Chorus

You better stick around
Yeah you better stick around

We laid around Dogtown a summer ago
Good ol’ man winter was fresh out of snow
When the leaves had left town, she followed them out
Running from rural and cold

I told her I’d visit if the roads didn’t close
The clouds opened up and then down came the snow
And the days turned to weeks and the weeks felt like months
Burning ol’ memories and anthracite coal

Chorus 1:
And I hung out in Dogtown too long once again
Winter time draws me back in
All the birds have flown south and the gold’s come and gone
And I hung out in Dogtown too long

Sometimes I wonder why I stick around
Even the cathouse has long been torn down
And how many dog years does a man have to kill
To know there’s no luck or love left in these hills

Chorus 2:
And I hung out in Dogtown too long
Setting like warm solstice sun
All the gold’s turned to green and birds have flown home
And I hung out in Dogtown too long

Harmonica

Guitar

A face I remember from so long ago
Returned with another in love I could see
But I’ll show her one day ‘cause I know that someday
I’m gonna make somethin’ of me

Chorus 3:
So I’m leaving Dogtown at dawn
Seeking my fortune and fame
Cause my heart has grown cold from a love come and gone
As I hung out in Dogtown too long

You’re hiding from love
You see you don’t need it
But if that were true
You could take it or leave it
Well you gotta learn to walk
But you’re afraid of fallin’
Off the line like a shot
Then it's back to crawling

Chorus:
How can it stop if you won’t let it start
I build it up and you tear it apart
It’s so hard to love a girl with a broken heart
I love a girl with a broken heart

You still lickin’ your wounds
And girl you’re no stranger
To blood, sweat and tears
And a heart scared from anger
We got a love that you find
Maybe once in a lifetime
But you can’t hide

Chorus

Chorus 2:
How can it stop if you won’t let it start
I build it up and you rip it apart
It’s so hard to love a girl with a broken heart
I love a girl with a broken heart
