D Seemed like everybody down in Bm Cumberland Kentucky D Came out that day to Gsee poor Billy's Dtrial D The court was called to order Bmthere sat the judge's daughter She E7looked so proud holding Billy's Achild
[Verse 8]
When they Dbrought Billy to him the Bmjudge just looked right through him As he Dheld that holy Gbible in his Dhand And he Gsmiled at his Agrandson then his Deyes cut back to GBilly And said DI think this time the Glaw will underDstand Son I sentence you to Alife with MarGianne
[Chorus]
You Dcan't out run the Along arm of the Glaw No you Dcan't out run the Along arm of the Dlaw He said to GBilly with a Asmile I know you Dhid out for a Gwhile Ah but you Dcan't out run the Along arm of the Dlaw No you can't out run the Along arm of the Dlaw
