[F] [C] [D]
I was raised knowing right from wrong, [Am] [Dm] Baptized under [G] that old [D] rugged cross.
[G] I try to be a good man, [C] I always give it my best.
[G] But truth be told, some days I want to go to the wild, wild west.
[D] I want to line them up and drink [B] them, I want to love them and [G] leave them.
But [F] sometimes I want to just [D] run astray.

Yeah, I won't want it [D] but my name.
[C] Sometimes I want to be like Jesus, [G] Sometimes I want to be [D] Jesse James.

[G] I got angels on my left, [C] and demons on my right.
[G] It's a never-ending battle, [A] it's a constant [D] fight.
I want to line them up and drink them, I want to love them and [G] leave them.

I want to steal a horse and ride into town, Stare the sheriff down,
Tell him there's a new man around here.
I want to walk through those swinging saloon doors, Hear my spurs hit the [G] wooden floor.
I want to [D] smell nothing but fear, [Dm] You hear?
[A] Law don't go around here.
[Dm] I want to line them up and drink them, I want to love them and [G] leave them.
