ardmore oklahoma summer ninety three
some kid robbed the bank and trust and looked a lot like me
i was just a two bit drifter, lookin' for a place to land
when the d.a. and his grand jury agreed that i's their man
my court appointed lawyer was tellin' me to plea
he said "boy you keep your mouth shut, just leave the law to me"
i had a prior in texas and i knew the deal was good as done
so i jumped a guard in the county yard, i cut the fence and run
chorus
and i caught the first train leaving
i've been running ever since
it's nothing less than twenty years
for this federal offense
you can take me in a pine box
cause i ain't doin' time...for another man's crime
for another man's crime
today i'm goin' north bound, winter's turned to spring
i don't know where i'm headed or what tomorrow brings
maybe kansas city ,st. paul or council bluffs
but i'll criss-cross these united states
and leave ya chewin' on my dust
chorus
i'll catch the first train leaving
right before the dawn
about the time you're wind of me
hell, i'm a hundred miles a gone
i know this aint no life i'm living
but i aint doin' time...for another man's crime
no i won't, for another man's crime
oh yeah
i won't do the time...for another man's crime
