Lyrics

[G]I was visiting my family and the [C]days were getting [G]long
By 4 o?clock I was [Em] out the door [C]down the steps and [D]gone
[G]Jumped into my Chevrolet and I [C]rolled the window [G]down
I turned the music [Em] up and [C]headed out of [G]town

I stopped and rolled a number, thinking about ma and pa
I lit that joint I hit the gas. I was breaking the law
Blue smoke rolled up around me and I couldn?t believe what I saw
A red light flashing in the rear view mirror and I was breaking the law

Chorus
[G]I was breaking the [D]law, [G] I'm breaking the [D]law
[C]Just outside of the [G] city line and I'm [D]breaking the [G]law

I called up my brother told him I was in jail
I said hey bro you got 500 bucks come down throw my bail
He said oh little brother I'm sorry that I answered this call
He read me his bible he prayed that I would stop breaking the law

Chorus
Just outside of the county line

I called up my sister told her what went down
I said hey sis you got some money wont you please come down town
She said oh little brother I hear your sad sad song
But Billy took the car to cash in a waitress, he is gone

Chorus
Just out side of the state line

So I asked the jailer please let me make one more call
He gave me a quarter and he turned me around straight back down the hall
When my daddy answered I told him what went down
He said that?s OK your still my son Ill give you a lift out of town

Chorus x 2
Give me a ride to the border line
