G F C G x2
[Chorus]
G Em
Well if I can keep it on the ground when I put that hammer down
A D G
Then I'll be Texas bound and a flyin'
G Em
I've got my ten in the wind, let it all hang out again
A D G
'Cause how you gonna win if you ain't tryin'
[Verse 1]
Em D
Now we're all back together and we're burning up the road
C
And that ol' sheriff's out there dogging us again
A
He thinks he's really got cookin', plans to do a lot of bookin',
D
The only trouble he keeps lookin' where we've already been
[Chorus]

So if I can keep it on the ground when I put that hammer down

Their story is a legend that will live on in time
