Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
He’s  twenty one  and jealous  of the shadow  outside the fence
 Got a bible  from his cellmate  he’s seachin’ for a 2nd  chance
Hopes  than he  can make  it outside before his little  girl learns to talk
Hopes  he can get it all  figured out’ before the judge  says that he  can walk
 Cause it’s hotwired, too  tired from bein’  who he’s been
Car  theft, what’s  left he ain’t ever  goin’ back again
 He ain’t never goin’ back to  tie himself  to the whippin’  pole
 His American  dream’s like the county  line sign that he shot full of holes
 And 2-4 don’t seem like much till you’re stuck in an 8X10
 He felt guilty damn near all his life and much more now than then
 He wrote a letter to Jesus last night and he nailed it up to the cross
 Yeah he’s free in his heart but at night in the dark, you know the man he’s still the boss
 He walked through the gate last Thursday and headed on into town
 What did he see but a Cadillac there with all it’s windows down
 And it’s broke down, hands down,and it's back to who he was
 No change it seems strange, it ain’t ever been push or shove
 And now he’s goin’ back to tie himself to the whippin’ pole
 And his American dream like the county sign that he shot full of holes
