Written by - J.R. Cobb & Buddy Buie
Album-The Restless Kind
[Intro] 
B A/B E D
B A/B E D B
[Verse]
BI was dealin' up and down the highway
Till they caught me with a heavy loEad
They F#sentenced me to hard labor
WoE7rkin' on the side of the roadB  
Now I don't deny I was guilty
And I know I broke the lEaw
F#I was hungry and broke and couldn't see no hope
And my back E7was up against the waBll
[Chorus]
BNow I'm right outside your window
Honey, open up and let me Ein
I brF#oke out of jail this mornin'
And I ainE't never goin' back aBgain
I just had to stop by for a minute
And I can't stay long at alEl
'Cause F#I gotta run, you see I'm under the gun
And my E7back is up against the Bwall
(Back to first Part of Intro then solo)
[Verse]
BI was shackled to a three-time loser
A man named JefEferson
F#One night we got to talkin'
And E7I asked him what he'd Bdone
He said a man fell over my razor
In the middle of a bar room brawl
But F#don't you see, it was him or me
And my back E7was up against the waBll
[Chorus]
BNow I'm right outside your window
Honey, open up and let me Ein
I brF#oke out of jail this mornin'
And I ainE't never goin' back aBgain
I just had to stop by for a minute
And I can't stay long at alEl
'Cause F#I gotta run, you see I'm under the gun
And my E7back is up against the Bwall
[Outro]
F#Cause I gotta run, you see I'm under the gun
And my E7back is up against the Bwal
BYeah, F#I gotta run, you see I'm under the gun
And my E7back is up against the Bwall
[Outro]

Back Up Against the Wall

Written by - J.R. Cobb & Buddy Buie

Album-The Restless Kind

[Intro]

B A/B E D

B A/B E D B

[Verse]

I was dealin' up and down the highway

Till they caught me with a heavy load

They sentenced me to hard labor

E7 B

Workin' on the side of the road

Now I don't deny I was guilty

And I know I broke the law

I was hungry and broke and couldn't see no hope

E7 B

And my back was up against the wall

[Chorus]

Now I'm right outside your window

Honey, open up and let me in

I broke out of jail this mornin'

E B

And I ain't never goin' back again

I just had to stop by for a minute

And I can't stay long at all

'Cause I gotta run, you see I'm under the gun

E7 B

And my back is up against the wall

(Back to first Part of Intro then solo)

[Verse]

I was shackled to a three-time loser

A man named Jefferson

One night we got to talkin'

E7 B

And I asked him what he'd done

He said a man fell over my razor

In the middle of a bar room brawl

But don't you see, it was him or me

E7 B

And my back was up against the wall

[Chorus]

Now I'm right outside your window

Honey, open up and let me in

I broke out of jail this mornin'

E B

And I ain't never goin' back again

I just had to stop by for a minute

And I can't stay long at all

'Cause I gotta run, you see I'm under the gun

E7 B

And my back is up against the wall

[Outro]

Cause I gotta run, you see I'm under the gun

E7 B

And my back is up against the wal

B F#

Yeah, I gotta run, you see I'm under the gun

E7 B

And my back is up against the wall

[Outro]
