Intro 1

Verse 1
Am 
She grew up hard, and she grew up fast
In a town called New Orleans
Got beat up bad by her old man
Started hitching up to Tennessee
Dm 
Caught a ride with a trucker,
said he'd get her there
But it really was Texas Spine
Am 
She asked, "Where we going?" He said,
"Shut up, woman"

Verse 2
Grabbed her hair and held her down
Am 
But Lyza, she wasn't an average girl
She had a pistol down in her boot
She pulled it out, pointed it at him
And said, "I ain't afraid to shoot"
Dm 
But he didn't stop,
so she shot him twice
Big old truck began to swerve
Am 
Then she jammed the brakes
and tossed him out
To die there on that curve
F 
Now

Verse 3
E 
Am 
Lyza's on the run
F 
She got a pretty face and a
E 
Am 
fully loaded gun
F 
She got long black hair and
E 
Am 
evil in her eyes
F 
Don't you mess with her,
E 
Am 
you might not make it out alive

Verse 4
Am 
So she jumped in the truck, turned it around
F 
Am 
Looks like she's got a change of plan
Wanna drive for a while,
find a cheap hotel
Try to rest a while if she can
Dm 
She got out, and she started walking
But then heard this crazy sound
Am 
Went back to the truck and opened it up
Never guessed what Lyza found

Verse 5
Am 
There's three girls laying there,
tied up on the ground
She cut them loose,
and they started talking
All about this crazy house
Dm 
Said the place we came from
is full of money and guns
Enough to go around
Am 
So they jump in the truck
and start it back
They're gonna take it down

Verse 6
F 
E 
Am 
Now Lyza's on the run
F 
She got three new friends and a
E 
Am 
fully loaded gun
F 
She got long black hair and
E 
Am 
evil in her eyes
F 
E 
Am 
Now they're on their way, they're gonna get paid tonight
F 
E 

Interlude 1

Verse 7
Am 
F 
Am 
So they circled the house,
three around the back
Lyza took the front door
They all walked into some
doped- up hombres
F 
Am 
Passed out on the floor
All four girls put their guns
to their heads and-
F 
They killed all but one and left him alive
Am 
Long enough to tell him where
F 
E 
the money was

Verse 8
Am 
Now Lyza's on the run
F 
She got a pretty face and a
E 
Am 
fully loaded gun
F 
She got long black hair and
E 
Am 
evil in her eyes
F 
Don't you mess with her,
E 
Am 
you might not make it out alive
F 
Don't mess with her,
E 
you might not make it out alive
