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

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
