Am G Am [Verse]Am G For thirty eight years, my life had begunAm G I was never a man without holding a gunAm G Am Now all that I hold is regret and I'm too old to run.Am G And for thirty eight years, I've not walked on grassAm G Living the life of my crimes from the pastAm G Am But I'd give it all back just to lie in the arms of my love. [Chorus]C G Throw away shotgun, throw away sorrowAm G Live out of existence, turn good for tomorrowC G I am a bank robber, and a girl I desireAm G I've changed for the better I am not a damn liarAm G Am My name's Tommy Foster and all that I've robbed is my life.Am G And for thiry eight years, I've seen growm men cryAm G and I've watched them come back time after timeAm G Am and I hate them for having the chance, why can't it be mine.Am G And for thirty eight years, it's long since the starsAm G shined into my eyes, not to care of my pastAm G Am And the lady I love, you've found the good in my heart. [Chorus]C G Throw away shotgun, throw away sorrowAm G Live out of existence, turn good for tomorrowC G I am a bank robber, and a girl I desireAm G I've changed for the better I am not a damn liarAm G Am My name's Tommy Foster and all that I've robbed is my life. [Bridge]F C It's three thirty again, the head miles beginG Am And the windows too high and I can't see the sunF C And I can't stop this pain, so I think of you loveG Am You've shown me the way, while others gave upG Am Oh you've shown me the way to what I can become. [Outro]Am G Am Oh my names Tommy Foster and all that I've robbed is my lifeAm G Am Oh my names Tommy Foster and all that I've robbed i-s m-y life.Am G Am
