Seems like it's rainin' harder today The rain must of known I was comin' this way It ain't easy living on the run If I pick up my step and pull my belt down tight I can make it to the border by saturday night And it's lonely living on the run I killed me a woman in Tennessee I just broke jail and they're gunnin' for me I'm on the run living on the run I'm on the run living on the run [ guitar - fiddle ] My woman wanted more than a man could steal From the bottom of the decks Where I learned to deal And it got me me living on the run Women love an outlaw I heard folks say And I'll be an outlaw till my dying day Cause it got me living on the run I killed me a woman in Tennessee I just broke jail and they're gunnin' for me I'm on the run living on the run I'm on the run living on the run
