Lyrics
Runnin Again
I heard the news today that you were gone
At the speed you were living I knew it wouldn?t be long
Your bootheels left there tracks on a dusty road
Washed out by the river that overflowed
If looks could kill your eyes were like razor knives
And now I can only wave goodbye to the sky
Never one for crying only living by ways of dying
When the law came gunnin you went runnin again
Chorus
You went runnin again?
You only spit in the face of reasoning
When I was talking to you you wouldn?t listen to me
But I still loved you so and I knew that you?d go
When the law came gunnin you went runnin again
Chorus
You lay yourself down in your cell that night
Knowing it would be your last
When life came round looking for you you could never let it pass
Now you?ve left to go and chase the sun
Convinced that your life has just begun
I sat out by the tower as the clock struck the hour
That the law came gunnin and you went runnin again
Chorus
