Jimmy Sparks went too far and opened up that mouth
_ Said some things to old Ed Manning that they could not have done
[C] When it came to [F] talking he was always on the run
_ [Cm] Everyone knew what the man had done _ _
Oh, [G] _ _ and _ _ take you for [D] a _ [Cm] ride _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Jimmy believed in the American way _
[Ab] A prison guard he would tolerate the minimum [F] wage
He found his freedom like a man in a cage on the run
_ Jimmy _ _ _ _ _ loved body and he followed the key
[Ab] A baby boy but the mother had other reasons [F] to live
She left the baby with a note on the bed
_ [Cm] It _ _ _ _ _ _ _ was a struggle just to cover the rent
_ [Ab] This jail cut hours and hours and little baby was sent
[F] He needed money and he [G] needed it quick
It [Cm] was three and
_ _ Oh my [Ab] love, oh my [G] love
_ _ [Cm] _
_ _ _ Could you spare my [Ab] blood, spare [G] my blood
_ _ _ [Cm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Jim woke his son and knuckled him in the car
[Ab]
They drove around the front yard and found a gambling [F] hall
The waitress [Ab] babysat the boy in [G] the bar
[Cm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
After an hour Jimmy doubled his cash
[Ab]
He took his kid and his weddings as the dealers were [F] swatting
He said they'd leave him [Ab] there, they'd always [Gm] come back and [Cm] sit back _ _ _ _ _ _
Out on the road they caught him spraying him in the lights
[Ab]
He struggles up and the son asked if the man was [F] alright
Jim said you never [Ab] give a hitch and [G] run
[Cm] It was a struggle _ _ _ just to cover the rent
_ This jail [Ab] _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Cm]
cut _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ hours and _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ hours _ and [F] little baby was sent
It was a struggle just to cover [Ab] the [G] rent
_ [Cm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ This jail cut hours and hours and little baby was sent
He was two years old and he was up to his [Gm] teeth
[Ab] He couldn't get out of the car and said he was in the [G] mood
[F] He had to move harder [Ab] or he'd be too [G] weak
[Cm] He said he didn't care
Oh my [Ab] love, oh my [G] love
_ [Cm] _ _ _
_ Could you spare my [Ab] blood, spare my [G] blood _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ Now Jimmy's son is trying to make his way home
[Ab] His graveyard ship didn't end, it was starting to [F] snow
He sees an old man [Ab] walking [C] barefoot alone
It was three in the evening
This [Cm] _ _ _ old man waved his hand with tears in his eyes _
But Jimmy's son just fed up and remembered daddy's [C] advice
No you don't ever give [Ab] a hitch and [G] run
Cause [C] it's us or him _
_ Cause [Cm] it's me or him
_ It was _ _ 3am, _ _ _ _ _ _ _
3am _ _ _ _ _ _ _
