Turnpike Troubadours

Biography:

Turnpike Troubadours is an American country music group from Oklahoma founded in 2005.

The band, whose name is derived from the bumpy Oklahoma toll-roads and their hard lived folk singing heroes, are proof that isolation can be the mother of originality. Cutting their teeth in roadside dance halls and honky-tonks has made a serious impact on the band’s musical style, which walks the line between Woody Guthrie and Waylon Jennings. “Bossier City,” the band’s debut album, is testament to the small towns in which they were raised.

Angola
Turnpike Troubadours

[Intro]
G D C G (x2)

[Verse 1]
G D
Well I was born in Bossier Parish, in Northern Louisian?
C G
Just a few miles south of Fillmore where my daddy owned some land
G D
And we were thick as a pair of thieves, my buddy Jack and me
C G
Drinkin? beer and playin? football, fishin? on them creeks

[Chorus]
C G
Oh but now my life it seems like some old country song you know
D G
Lord I just turned 21, and there?s no chance of parole
C G
And I?m doin? life for murder, in this penitentiary
D C G
Just a young man in Angola, seen the last of bein? free

[Solo]
G D C G

[Verse 2]
G D
We graduated high school, back in ?98
C G
Tried to live the clean life, but the clean life didn?t pay
G D
Then a friend of a friend of a friend of ours had a way to make ends meet
C G
And he gave us a crash course, in southern chemistry

[Chorus]
C G
Oh but now my life it seems like some old country song you know
D C G
Lord I just turned 21, and there?s no chance of parole
C G
And I?m doin? life for murder, in this penitentiary
D C G
Just a young man in Angola, seen the last of bein? free

[Solo]
G D C G

[Verse 3]
G D
And then one day it happened, and the wild men got the call
C G
And Jackie he?d been talkin?, with the local law
G D
They stuck him nearly fifty times and dumped him in the creek
C G
When the sheriff?s found the body, they pointed their bloody hands at me

A C
And I got a tattoo on my shoulder, I got a number on my chest
A C D
The tattoo just says ?Hot?, and that?s the place I love the best, yeah

[Outro]
G D C G (x3)
