|
You hear the hounds awailin' |
|
As if the mountains groan |
|
You hear the lonesome echo, the telltale clack of stones |
|
You thought you'd get away, but you're never quite alone |
|
You hear the hiss of rattler, maracas on his tail |
|
You hear the lion replyin' to the stalker on your trail |
|
One step ahead of the devil one step |
|
One step ahead of the man one step |
|
You're one step ahead of evil |
|
And you can only run as far as you can |
|
One step ahead of the devil one step |
|
One step ahead of the man one step |
|
You're one step ahead of evil |
|
And you can only run as far as you can |
|
And you can only run as far as you can |
|
And you can only run as far as you can |
|
You hear the darkness weeping |
|
For those who fall tonight |
|
That night you lay beside her, for once you almost slept |
|
Until her slim blade glimmered near got you 'fore you leapt |
|
Wish you could leave her livin but that's like guns and rust |
|
You don't want it on your gun, it's just like you and trust |
|
One step ahead of the devil one step |
|
One step ahead of the man one step |
|
You're one step ahead of evil |
|
And you can only run as far as you can |
|
One step ahead of the devil one step |
|
One step ahead of the man one step |
|
You're one step ahead of evil |
|
And you can only run as far as you can |
|
And you can only run as far as you can |
|
And you can only run as far as you can |
|
Somewhere, there's a refuge |
|
Somewhere, a place to rest |
|
Somewhere, there's a lover |
|
Someday you'll pass the test |
|
One step ahead of the devil one step |
|
One step ahead of the man one step |
|
You're one step ahead of evil |
|
And you can only run as far as you can |
|
One step ahead of the devil one step |
|
One step ahead of the man one step |
|
You're one step ahead of evil |
|
And you can only run as far as you can |
|
And you can only run as far as you can |
|
And you can only run as far as you can |
