87 Southbound
(from the album "Risin Outlaw")

Transcribed by R. Patterson
(Standard Tuning)

Well, I caught you with him[A Bb B](let ring)
on those damp satin sheets,
So I packed my things 
and then I hit the streets

87 [E]southbound 
to San An[B]tone
It's getting late out, 
I ain't got no [E]home

[E]The pavement's burning 
at ninety[A]two
I don't need to [E]hear no more ex[B]cuses
that I don't love [E]you

[E]Lord, the sun keeps beating me [B]down 
and it's hotter than [E]hell
And [B]if I'm lucky I'll catch a ride,
but you can [E]never tell

I'd [A]rather be here with the bugs and flies 
than [E]back there hearing your alibis
[B]Heard all that I'm gonna hear you say, 
I'm gonna take my pride and go the other [E]way

87 [E]southbound 
to San An[B]tone
It's getting late out, 
I'm 40 miles from [E]home

[E]The rain keeps falling 
like the tears in my [A]eyes, 
I'm just trying to [E]wash away 
the [B]hurt from all your [E]lies

(Instrumental Break)

[E]Lightning streaks a[B]cross the evening [E]sky
and [B]if I'm lucky I'll make it big 
or lay right down and [E]die

[A]I know when the morning comes 
I'm [E]gonna be a walking son of a gun.
When [B]afternoon comes rolling around, 
I'll have ten more miles and one more [E]town

87 [E]southbound 
to San An[B]tone
It's getting late out, 
I ain't got no [E]home

[E]The pavement's burning 
at a hundred and [A]two
I don't need to [E]hear no more ex[B]cuses
that I don't love [E]you

I don't need to [E]hear no more ex[B]cuses
that I don't love [E]you
