On the Run

Ain't got no life
I'm on the run
One step ahead
Of the lawman's gun

I had a love
She became my wife
She was untrue
So I took her life

Her lover there
Was the first to fall
I shot him twice
Then I heard her call
I turned to her
With intent to kill
Third shot rang out
Everything got still

I'm on the run
I make no friends
I'm on the run
And got no end
I got my freedom
But I ain't free
For the law and the devil
Are after me

My trusted mare
And a forty five
My only companion
To keep me alive
When the bounty man
Came sniffin' around
I beat him with a draw
And rode out of town

Not an hour goes by
My heart don't break
My griefin' shame
I cannot shake
Every river I cross
I think of jumpin' in
And bringin' this misery to an end

I'm on the run
I make no friends
I'm on the run
And got no end
I got my freedom
But I ain't free
For the law and the devil
Are after me

I'm on the run
I make no friends
I'm on the run
And got no end
I got my freedom
But I ain't free
For the law and the devil
Are after me

I'm on the run
I make no friends
I'm on the run
And got no end
I got my freedom
But I ain't free
For the law and the devil
Are after me
For the law and the devil
Are after me
