Down to Molina one day I did roam
Looking for a place that I could call home
Things don't come easy when your life's not your own
And the touch of the devil is all that you've known

Three riders they made their way in to the bar
Said they had business with the man wears a star
Town folk they asked me do you know who they are
They were outlaws like me we all had the same scars

I was sworn to the creed and so I was bound
If you're in for a penny you're in for a pound
You do what you do 'til you're put in the ground
Dark days had come for me and that town

What kind of life is a life on the run
Best to be ready when the end of days come
I've tried to do right and to make my amends
Temptation keeps a-calling it wants me back again

Once things get going they never end well
One after the other the bodies they fell
Don't matter which side of the story you tell
The new life I'd found had just gone all to hell

It might have been better had that day not come
But surely it did and what's done is what's done
Where does one go when they live by the gun
It's over at last for this prodigal son

No one can say why we do what we do
The life we have chosen is the way we get through
The good and the bad comes around that is true
Now sweet Lord in heaven I'm coming home to you

What kind of life is a life on the run
Best to be ready for when the end of days come
I've tried to do right and to make my amends
Temptation keeps a-calling it wants me back again
