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.
I'm a-runnin'
I'm a-runnin' from you
'Cause you're a-chasin'
You're a-chasin' me to
The end of the earth
Or the city of kingdom come
I can see ya
I can see you way back
You can see me
You're gonna stab me in the back
But not unless
I can outrun you
Well, will you ever let out?
Will you ever stumble and fall?
Because I'm never gonna let you get me
At all
I can see you
You're a bullet in flight
I'm a-runnin'
Through a star in the night
That will never shine
Upon this darkened earth
Oh, will you ever let out?
Will you ever stumble and fall?
Because I'm never gonna let you get me
At all
Over mountain
Over valley and sea
I'm a-runnin'
So that you can't catch me
And if the gods are there
They will pull me through
Because I'm never gonna let you get me
At all
Because I'm never gonna let you get me
At all
Runnin' away from you
Runnin' away from you
