When it came to talking, he was always on the run

Jimmy believed in the American way
F
A prison guard, he worked hard and made the minimum wage
Dm F E Am
He found his freedom locking men in a cage, oh

Jimmy loved Bonnie and he fathered a kid
F
A baby boy, but the mother had other reasons to live
Dm F E Am
She left the baby with a note on the bed, oh

His jail cut hours and hours little baby was sick

He needed money and he needed it quick

Jim woke his son and buckled him in the car

They drove an hour from town and found a gambling hall
Dm F E Am
The waitress babysat the boy at the bar, oh no
Am
After an hour, Jimmy doubled his cash
F
He took his kid and his winnings as the dealer just laughed
Dm F E Am
He said they leave, but then they always come back, that's a fact
Am
Out on the road, they caught a stranger in the lights

His thumb was up and his son asked if the man was alright

Jim said you never give a hitcher a ride 'cause it's us or them
Am
It was 3 AM

20 years gone and now the boy is a man
F
Broke Jimmy's habits, got in mountains and mountains of debt
Dm F E Am
And now the sharks are coming back to collect, oh-oh
Am
They stripped his jewelry and the boots off Jim's feet
F
They kick him out the car and say we'll give you a week
Dm F E Am
Eight miles from home and only 18 degrees
Am
It was 3 AM
[Ritornello]

Oh, my love, oh, my love

Could you spare my blood, spare my blood?

Now Jimmy's son is trying to make his way home
F
His graveyard shift had ended and it was starting to snow
Dm F E
He sees an old man walking barefoot alone
Am
It was 3 AM
Am
His old man waved his hands with tears in his eyes
F
But Jimmy's son just sped up and remembered daddy's advice
Dm F E Am
No, you don't ever give a hitcher a ride 'cause it's us or them
Am
Cause it's me or him
Am
It was 3 AM
[Outro]
