Life On The Run
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She never knew my name
Least not the one my Daddy gave me
I took off the way I came
Moonlight reflecting off the chrome
She didn't want my story, so I didn't have to lie
If I loved her it was only for a night
Living life on the run
You can't give your heart to no one
Your only friend is the setting sun
I didn't do what they said I done
I gotta stay one step ahead
Or one of these days I'm gonna wake up dead
Dropped in my tracks by a bullet from a lawman's gun
Oh, you can't rest a minute
When you're living on the run
The white lines on the road
That's the only trail I leave behind me
Been chasinghighline poles
Ever since the night i skipped out of town
somewhere in the distance i where I need to be
All I care about right now is speed
Living life on the run
You can't give your heart to no one
Your only friend is the setting sun
I didn't do what they said I done
I gotta stay one step ahead
Or one of these days I'm gonna wake up dead
Dropped in my tracks by a bullet from a lawman's gun
Oh, you can't rest a minute
When you're living life on the run
Here they come no, gotta lay low
Done bent the law till the law got broke
Here they come now, gotta lay low
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Here they come now, they're closing in
Pack of blood hounds gonna catch my sent
Here they come now, now I'm gone again
Yeah
Living life on the run
You can't give your heart to no one
You can't rest a minute when you're living life on the run
No, you can't rest a minute when your're living life
On the run
