Notorious [G] - Confederate Railroad

[Verse 1]
[G] Riding North on Interstate 75
With a nervous fading beauty sitting by his side
[C] And a pistol that he used to [G] pave the way
Down the long black stretches of a [D] dark highway

[Verse 2]
[G] Ray bought his future with a pound of lead
When he robbed a liquor store and left the clerk for dead
[C] That kid should have put the money [G] in the sack
But he didn't and now there ain't no [D] turning back

|[Chorus 1]
|He's a [C] desperate rider, he's a [G] Jesse James
|The [C] best that he could hope for is a [G] household name
|There [C] ain't nobody that a [G] man can trust
|When [D] all his headlines read, [G] notorious
|There [C] ain't nobody that a [G] man can trust
|When [D] all his headlines read, [G] notorious

[Verse 3]
[G] They pulled out of Soddy Daisy 'bout twelve o'clock
Took the heatstroke with the lights off to avoid the road block
[C] Ray killed the motor at the [G] county line
Changed his Tennessee plates to a [D] lost tag sign

[Verse 4]
[G] She would never ask what the boy had done
But said she'd be his hostage if he needed one
[C] Her momma raised her to be [G] loyal and true
And she figured that's the least that [D] she could do

|[Chorus 2]
|She was [C] lost and lonely on a [G] midnight ride
|[C] Reluctant Bonnie to a [G] poorman's Clyde
|It [C] ain't too easy when the [G] man you love
|Has [D] got a reputation that's [G] notorious
|It [C] ain't too easy when the [G] man you love
|Has [D] got a reputation that's [G] notorious

[Verse 5]
[G] They were just outside of Knoxville when the lights flashed on
And the siren's starting howling like hell houndogs
[C] Ray popped that Firebird into [G] overdrive
And swore he'd never let them [D] take him alive

|[Chorus 3]
|He was a [C] desperate rider, he was [G] Jesse James
|The [C] best that he'd ever hope for was a [G] household name
|The [C] morning papers didn't [G] say too much
|But [D] his obituairy read, [G] notorious
|The [C] caption by his picture didn't [G] say too much
|But [D] his obituairy read, [G] notorious
|The [C] caption by his picture didn't [G] say too much
|But [D] his obituairy read, [G] notorious
