Knock on my door Badge and a gun Can we come in? Am I in trouble? No you're not, son But you're the victim Somebody stole your identity He's been leading a chase Up through the Highlands Scared that he'll make it Past state lines and We'll lose him for good You'll be a ghost He'll become you No one will know The cops are talking I can't hear 'em I'm jumping up and down at the TV screaming Run baby run Don't you let 'em light you up Foot on the gas You could be the best of us Take my name, take my age Take the dreams I had saved Be a man, talk your shit Don't live life so afraid Run baby run You could be the best of us You might be the best of us My time on earth Mostly awash What I would give to be in that car Feeling the weight of every second Driving away from my reflection The cops are shooting out the tires He's driving on the rims They're catching fire Run baby run Don't you let 'em light you up Foot on the gas You could be the best of us Take my name, take my age Take the dreams I had saved Be a man talk your shit Don't live life so afraid Run baby run You could be the best of us You might be the best of us Now he's out on the case They're sending the dogs Scaling a fence and cutting through lawns Drawing their guns, the chopper's above They're about to light 'em up Oh, don't you let 'em, don't you let 'em You better, you better Run baby run Running for the both of us Shots ringing out Watching as they light 'em up There it goes, every hope to escape Got so close Now I'll drive 95 towards the hell I call home Run baby run You could be the best of us Woulda been the best of us
