[Verse 1]
D
Jimmy was a small town kid
Bm
The only thing that he ever did
G A
Was cross the south side railroad track
D
Annie was a small town girl
Bm
She wanted so bad to see the world
G A D
Get on that train she'd never look back
[Chorus]
G A
Throw caution to the wind
D D/C# Bm
Don't ever turn your head
G A D
Cause in the end we'll all be dead
G A
Make ‘em open up their ears
D D/C# Bm
And listen to your song
G A D
Cause it don't matter who’s right or wrong
[Verse 2]
D
Heading fast out of town
Bm
West on fifty one
G A
Half a pack of cigarettes and a glove compartment gun
D
Running a little bit short on gas
Bm
She said I'll step in and pay
G A D
Got a pocket full of cash they made their getaway
[Chorus]
G A
Throw caution to the wind
D D/C# Bm
Don't ever turn your head
G A D
Cause in the end we'll all be dead
G A
Make ‘em open up their ears
D D/C# Bm
And listen to your song
G A D
Cause it don't matter who’s right or wrong
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
D
Arizona sun sinking
Bm
slowly in the sand
G A
Got a bag of twenty bills and a sack of contraband
D
Stepping down on his foot
Bm
give this thing some gas
G A D
The lights in the rear view mirror they're coming on us fast
[Verse 4]
D
Just like the wind here came the end
Bm
They never saw it come
G A
Jimmy knew his fate was sealed when Annie grabbed her gun
D
The same old broken story
Bm
I know you've heard it too
G A D
They went out in a blaze of glory with a hand held twenty-two
[Chorus]
G A
Throw caution to the wind
D D/C# Bm
Don't ever turn your head
G A D
Cause in the end we'll all be dead
G A
Make ‘em open up their ears
D D/C# Bm
And listen to your song
G A D
Cause it don't matter who’s right or wrong
G A
Make em open up their ears
D D/C# Bm
And listen to your song
G A D
Cause it don't matter who’s right or wrong
