Running

Loui was a boy who turned his life to crime
And before he knew he was doin' time
Alone in his cell he could not take it all
When the chance it came he over went the wall
He's runin', runin', runin'
Runin' from his crime
Runin', runin', runin'
Runin' for the line
Runin', runin', runin'
All that you can do
Runin', runin', runin'
It's runin' behind you
Jacob was a family man, who gambled night and day
But realy did his family ever see his pay
Jacob saw his days go bad, he owed much more than he had
He could not pay the man, so the little devil ran
He's runin', runin', runin'
Runin' from his time
Runin', runin', runin'
Runin' for the line
Runin', runin', runin'
All that he can do
Runin', runin', runin'
It's runin' behind you
Everyone is runin', runin' everyone of us
If we're not runin' from the gun then we're runin' for the bus
Keep on runin
Runin', runin', runin'
Runin' for the line
Runin', runin', runin'
Runin' for our piece of mind
Runin', runin', runin'
All that he can do
Runin', runin', runin'
It's runin' out of you
Runin', runin', runin'
Runin', runin', runin'
Runin', runin', runin'
Runin', runin', runin' Runin', runin', runin' Runin', runin', runin'
