Biography:
Born in Indianapolis, Indiana, Matt Mason knew from an early age that his home would one day be Nashville, Tennessee. His earliest memories of his musical aspirations are going the Grand Ole Opry with his family, and telling his Dad that he wanted to play there someday. So by the time he was eleven he was playing guitar and singing whenever he got a chance. Early on, his influences came from the gospel music of his family’s small church and the sounds of the late great Elvis Presley.

[Intro]
Am F G Am
[Verse]
Am F
I got home from Wichita a couple days before I thought.
G Am
Didn't recognize the truck parked in my drive.
Am
My boots hit the hardwood floor,
F
busted through the bedroom door.
G Am
Guess I must've caught you by surprise.
Am
By the time he got his buckle on,
F
I hit the safe and grabbed my gun.
G Am
You were beggin' me with tears in your eyes.
Am F
Screamin' "Baby, let him go! You don't want that on your soul."
G Am
I said, "A man is gonna die tonight."
[Chorus]
Am
I'm chasin' tail lights,
C
Straight as the crow flies.
G Am
Huntin' justice down a country road.
Am C
I've got a shotgun, it's ridin' shotgun,
G Am
And we're both fixin' to unload.
Am F
Son, I know what you done.
G Am
There's only one way to outrun me.
Am F G Am
You better pray your tank don't beat mine to E...
Am G Am
[Verse]
Am
Just blew past the county line.
F
That needles pushin' ninety-five.
G Am
I'm on you like a shadow move for move.
Am
All you see is my headlights.
F
I see the whites in your eyes.
G Am
That fear, mirrored in your rearview.
Am
Go ahead and ride the gas,
F
Don't think that you're livin' man,
G Am
just 'cause you make it past Dead Man's Curve.
Am F
Man, as far as I can tell we might both end up in hell,
G Am
But you're sure as hell goin' first.
[Chorus]
Am
I'm chasin' tail lights,
