Runnin'

Hard times make a man really want it

And trouble makes it hard to sleep

I got a lead foot headed straight for the border

Gotta make it out before they catch a trail on me

A little note is what I wrote her

The old man sleeping in that chair took a

Left hook when I got to going and Forty-Five

Said both hands up in the air

I never wanted to hurt nobody

Never meant to go this way

And it didn't quite turn out how I wanted

But they'll never catch me

If I'm running away

Ten years is what I owe em'

And all the cash that was in that safe

I could slow down give em all what they wanted

But Lord knows not today

I never wanted to hurt nobody

But they were in my way

And it didn't quite turn out how I wanted

But they'll never catch me

Lord if I'm running away

I make my peace

Bow my head to pray

Hope they never catch me

Lord while I'm running away
