Intro.: F
Verse 1:
[F] I stole a rag top Cadillac,
going home I had to cross the tracks.
[Bb] Train was coming when the engine died.
[F] I jumped out and watched the two colide.
[C] I barely had the time to save my hide.
Can't even do [F]wrong right.
Verse 2:
[F] Without a dime at 35, I have up on the good life.
[Bb] I robbed a bank with my .45,[F] I was headed for the border line.
[C] When my gas tank went bone dry.
Can't even do [F]wrong right.
Chorus:
Back where [Bb]I come from, well they [F]call it hard luck.
But that [G]judge of mine, just called it [C]hard time.
Solo: Bb F Bb C C C C
Verse 3:
[F] I'm payin' my dues doing time,
the wardens teaching me to walk the line.
[Bb] But temptation he's a friend of mine,
[F] he found us a fence to climb.
[C] But then the spot light robbed us blind.
Can't even do [F]wrong right.
Chorus:
Back where [Bb]I come from, well they [F]call it hard luck.
But that [G]judge of mine, just called it [C]hard time.
Outro: F Bb (repeat)

I can't even do wrong right
