Verse 1

For A DYoung Man Used To Running, EThere Was Family Here

Verse 2
EThen Gunfire Filled The Open Road And GTunstall Hit The Ground
The Law Came DWearing Different Faces Every ETime He Turned Around
GBilly Pinned A EBadge Above The Hurt He Carried GDeep Inside
And BeDcame A Regulator To EFight The Shifting Tides
