You got struck with some bad luck
There's a black cat by your side
And I'm afraid you chose the red door
With the triple 6 neon sign
And what those witchdoctors do to you
I wouldn't want it for myself
After all that you've been through
Haven't you learned anything?
You can't outrun 'em, you can't outrun 'em
You can't outrun 'em, you can't outrun 'em
They want your head, you can't outrun 'em
I guess two souls will meet again
When the universe thinks they should
Even if their own bloodlines
Don't run as deep as they could
And will your mama pull you through?
I wouldn't wish it on my enemy
Now that I am living proof
That history repeats
You can't outrun 'em, you can't outrun 'em
You can't outrun 'em, you can't outrun 'em
They want you dead
You can't outrun 'em, you can't outrun 'em
You better talk quickly, 'cause my sister's at the door
'Cause I want to know everything
Who I am and what it's for
What the lord has planned for you
I guess that it was meant
Wanted to get to know you
Before you were dead!
You can't outrun 'em, you can't outrun 'em
You can't outrun 'em, you can't outrun 'em
I know you can't
You can't outrun 'em, you can't outrun 'em
You can't outrun 'em, you can't outrun 'em
You can't
