You were born by a railroad track |
|
Never knew your ma and your pa ain't comin' back |
|
Had to make your way the best you can |
|
But you didn't have to steal from another man |
|
Run boy run boy run boy run they're gonna get you boy run boy run |
|
They're gonna catch you boy run boy run run boy run boy run boy run |
|
Think you're a man cause you're twenty one |
|
Shot a man for nothin' and away you run |
|
Wanted in most every state from here to Tennessee |
|
If you're caught you'll do your runnin' hangin' from a tree |
|
Run boy run boy run boy run... |
|
Storm clouds lookin' down from the sky |
|
And hangman's noose swingin' on a tree near by |
|
The words on that tombstone that won't be read by you |
|
Says his runnin's done at twenty one he won't see twenty two |
|
Run boy run boy run boy run... |
