[VERSE]
I've been [F]called every bad name, [Am]some I can't name
By [Bb]judges and lawyers and [G]folks I've never [C]met
But my [F]mother she called me [Bb]Walker Jer[F]maine
[Bb]She said, "Go out, boy, and [C]make your own [F]way" [Dm] [Bb] [Dm] [Bb] [C]

Yeah, I [Bb]got away good, just as [C]gone as I [F]could [Dm] [Bb] [C] [Dm] [C]
[CHORUS]
Oh, every [Bb]shuteye ain't sleep, [C]I know it's [F]so
[Bb]Restless I ride in the [C]linen
Every [Bb]goodbye ain't gone, [C]I hope it's [Dm]true
I [Bb]count my days, leaving only a [C]few [Dm] [Bb] [Dm] [Bb] [C]
[VERSE]
Oh, I [F]know it's not right to [Am]take what's not mine
Yeah, I'm [Bb]sure ain't right, I know [G]stealing's a [C]crime

Like [Bb]gravel in a grave, one [C]grain at a [F]time [Dm] [Bb] [C] [Dm] [C]
