She never knew my name
At least not the one my daddy gave me
I took off the way I came
Moonlight reflecting off the throne
She didn't want my story
So I didn't have to lie
If I loved her it was only for a night
Living life on the run
You can't give your heart to no one
Your only friend is a sentence
And I didn't do what they said I'd done
I gotta stay one step ahead
One of these days I'm gonna wake up dead
Dropped in my tracks by a boy from a lawman's gun
Oh, you can't rest a minute
When you're living life on the run
The white line's on the road
That's the only trail I leave behind me
Men chasing high-line poles
Ever since the night I skipped out of town
Somewhere in the distance
Is where I need to be
All I care about right now is speed
Living life on the run
You can't give your heart to no one
Your only friend is a sentence
And I didn't do what they said I'd done
I gotta stay one step ahead
One of these days I'm gonna wake up dead
Dropped in my tracks by a boy from a lawman's gun
Oh, you can't rest a minute
When you're living life on the run
Here we go
Here they come now, gotta lay low
Unbent the law, took the law, got broke
Here they come now, gotta lay low
Here they come now, they're closing in
Pack of bloodhounds gonna catch my sin
Here they come now, now I'm gone again
Yeah, yeah
Living life on the run
Living life on the run
You can't give your heart to no one
You can't rest a minute
When you're living life on the run
No, you can't rest a minute
When you're living life
On the run
You can't rest a minute
