Seems like it's rainin' harder today
the rain must of known i was comin' 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 gunnin' for me
i'm on the run living on the run
i'm on the run living on the run
[ guitar - fiddle ]
my woman wanted more than a man could steal
from the bottom of the decks
where i learned to deal
and it got me 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
i killed me a woman in tennessee
i just broke jail and they're gunnin' for me
i'm on the run living on the run
i'm on the run living on the run
