G F#
[Verse]
E
I came through the fence in ‘93
Cadd9 G F#
And I know that they are after me today
E
I believe this is the land for me
Cadd9 G F#
Of hope, and grace, and liberty
E
Oh, my grandfather, he told me
Cadd9 G F#
Son, you’ll never have to run anymore
E
Oh, but I broke the law
Cadd9 G F#
Which I will surely die for
But, now
[Chorus]
Cadd9
I am on my way
E
I have to leave today,
G D
Tell my wife and boy that I love them
Cadd9 E
I gave my son to America
G F#
God, I pray they treat him well
[Intro]
E
Well, my daddy left when I was five,
Cadd9 G F#
I do not know if he’s alive at all
E
And, it’s hard with just my mom and me
Cadd9 G F#
But I work to feed my family
E
And, I work hard to keep my bitter pay
Cadd9 G F#
That the rich man comes and takes away
E
So, I killed him in the dead of night
Cadd9 G F#
With my father’s gun
E
I took his life away
Cadd9 G F#
I took his life away
Now, I say
[Chorus]
Cadd9
I was on my way
E
I have to leave today
G D
Tell my mom and sister that I love them
Cadd9 E
I am on the run
From America
G F#
God, I pray they don’t catch me
[Intro]
[Verse]
E
Now, I sit here in this dirty cell
Cadd9 G F#
The jailer comes to give me hell
E
They have caught me and my racist mind
Cadd9 G F#
I’ll surely pay for what I’ve done
E
But, then I look up and I see
Cadd9 G F#
This old man staring at me
E
He tells me I remind him of someone
Cadd9 G F#
His own boy he left at the age of 5
E
That probably thought his daddy died
Cadd9 G F#
And, how he wished he could tell him
[Outro]
Cadd9
He would say
E
I was on my way, had to leave that day
G D
Tell my wife and boy that I love them
Cadd9
I gave my love to America
G Em D
God I pray they treat him well,
G Em D
Oh, god I pray they treat well
G Em D
God, I pray they treat him well.
