Intro: I was dealin' up and down the highway Till they caught me with a heavy load They sentenced me to hard labor Workin' on the side of the road Now I don't deny I was guilty And I know I broke the law I was hungry and broke and couldn't see no hope And my back was up against the wall Chorus: Now I'm right outside your window Honey, open up and let me in I broke out of jail this mornin' And I ain't never goin' back again I just had to stop by for a minute And I can't stay long at all 'Cause I gotta run, you see I'm under the gun And my back is up against the wall (Back to first Part of Intro then solo) Verse I was shackled to a three-time loser A man named Jefferson One night we got to talkin' And I asked him what he'd done He said a man fell over my razor In the middle of a bar room brawl But don't you see, it was him or me And my back was up against the wall Chorus (2 x's) Ending Cause I gotta run, you see I'm under the gun And my back is up against the wall Yeah, I gotta run, you see I'm under the gun And my back is up against the wall Note the note on top
