Why you been so kind to me? everybody you meet's so nasty and mean 
          Am                      E 
You gotta keep your head down and walk down the street 
        F                      E 
And you fondle your gun in the dark alley 
       C             Am 
I been gone, so far away 
       C              Am 
I been crying in the rain

There's a long railroad line between our dreams and our fathers' eyes 
         Am                               E 
And you can blame yourself while you're on them miles 
               F                 E 
Or you can shut your mouth and enjoy the ride 
        C           Am 
I been gone so far away 
        C             Am

Black trees and a blood red sky, the lightning strikes and you die inside 
       Am                      E 
But you come to life with the morning light 
        F                           E 
And you laugh at the world and all mankind 
          C           Am 
You been gone so far away 
          C             Am 
You been crying in the rain

You been behind a boxcar door screaming oooh Laredo
