[Intro]
G  G  D  G  G  G  G


[Verse 1]
G                              C           G
Billy Baxter got stopped for a busted tail light
       G                                      D
in the heat of the evening on a cold winter's night
           G                     C                Em
They found part of a number that he'd stashed too late
         D                       C     G
and then under the front seat, a warm 38


[Verse 2]
     G                           C            G
They took him downtown 'fore the dawn's early light
           G                                   D
Where they found he was wanted for inter-state flight
      G                       C      Em
We'll hold you for Texas, the Deputy roared
      D                    C         G
we'll hold you forever, by Jesus, by Lord


[Chorus]
          D                       C             G
Well it's lonely alone, 'gainst a cold gray backdrop
D                          C        G
Cold steel and stone, will it never stop
          G                         C        Em
Well it's bars behind bars behind a Deputy's glass
       D                             C          G
It's a model city prison, and you're goin' down fast


[Verse 3]
     G                        C           G
Well Suzie came to visit, and it sure was great
            G                                  D
She brought money and smiles, not a second too late
      G                            C            Em
Then just when he thought he might still have a life
       D                          C                G
He met up late one evening with a convict's carved knife


[Chorus]
          D                       C             G
Well it's lonely alone, 'gainst a cold gray backdrop
D                          C        G
Cold steel and stone, will it never stop
          G                         C        Em
Well it's bars behind bars behind a Deputy's glass
       D                             C          G
It's a model city prison, and you're goin' down fast


[Verse 3]
         G                             C         G
Now it's night glooms and court rooms, days into weeks
     G                            D
They call him a liar, whenever he speaks
         G                    C       Em
now poor Billy is learning in so many ways
       D                       C          G
about god damned injustice, in just a few days


[Chorus]
          D                       C             G
Well it's lonely alone, 'gainst a cold gray backdrop
D                          C        G
Cold steel and stone, will it never stop
          G                         C        Em
Well it's bars behind bars behind a Deputy's glass
       D                             C          G
It's a model city prison, and you're goin' down fast


[Outro]
       D                             C          G
It's a model city prison, and you're goin' down fast
       D                             C          G
It's a model city prison, and you're goin' down fast
