D C
I just run 'round like a fool
D C
Stay in trouble all the time
D C
Got put behind bars, yeah
D C D
Served two years on the county line
[Verse 2]

Life ain't no good at all

Behind these county walls

On a cold concrete pedestal, oh
D C D
Wrote the words to this song
[Chorus]
D C
And how can I slow down
G D
When I can't stop runnin'
D C G D
My own shadow scares me to death

Got caught in Carolina town

When Woodrough sheriff come around

He caught me in the bed
D C D
With the county sheriff's wife
[Chorus]

And how can I slow down
G D
When I can't stop runnin'
D C G D
My own shadow scares me to death

With the county sheriff's wife
[Chorus]

And how can I slow down

When I can't stop runnin'
