about

on the run.

lyrics

When I woke up after years to find I was really someone else,
more and more like my folks, ain't nothing can be done.
Playing the part has brought me tears, and so far from myself,
sitting still will get me killed, cause I'm born to run.

I've got a warrant down in Deckers where a man died at my hand.
I've tried laying low till the dust would settle out.
I've been haunted by a sheriff wearing black with seven hands,
so I'll keep moving till my time has all run out

It's gonna get you if you're ready or not at the end of the line
no one knows when but it's coming for you so you'll be right on time
whether a woman or a fever or the devil himself, it leaves you bow-legged and blind
so I'll keep running it out so I'm not sitting still waiting to die.

This bed has my back aching so I'm up early anyway and the nightmares are the barrel of a gun.
a cup of dark will heal my heavy head from all of last night's rage,
and sitting still will get me killed cause I'm born to run.

I left her down in Tres Piedras with a kid from my best friend.
I've tried laying low till the dust would settle out.
I've been haunted by their faces and I know that I'll never win.
So I'll keep moving till my time has all run out.

It's gonna get you if you're ready or not at the end of the line
no one knows when but it's coming for you so you'll be right on time
whether a woman or a fever or the devil himself, it leaves you bow-legged and blind
so I'll keep running it out so I'm not sitting still waiting to die.
