SEEMS LIKE IT'S RAINING' HARDER TODAY

THE RAIN MUST OF KNOWN I WAS COMING' THIS WAY

IT AIN'T EASY LIVING ON THE RUN

IF I PICK UP MY STEP AND PULL MY BELT DOWN TIGHT

I CAN MAKE IT TO THE BORDER BY SATURDAY NIGHT

AND IT'S LONELY LIVING ON THE RUN



I KILLED ME A WOMAN IN TENNESSEE

I JUST BROKE JAIL AND THEY'RE GUNNING' FOR ME

I'M ON THE RUN, LIVING ON THE RUN

I'M ON THE RUN, LIVING ON THE RUN



MY WOMAN WANTED MORE THAN A MAN COULD STEAL

FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE DECKS WHERE I LEARNED TO DEAL

AND IT GOT ME LIVING ON THE RUN

WOMEN LOVE AN OUTLAW I HEARD FOLKS SAY

AND I'LL BE AN OUTLAW TILL MY DYING DAY

CAUSE IT GOT ME LIVING ON THE RUN
