Restless night I'm burnin' down the road
I've turned my tail-lights black
I'm going fast but it's a crazy situation
Now they started chasin' me
They're breathing down right on my neck
They believe for what I've done
There's no remediation
This is a race but I'm not takin' home a price
For another thousand miles to ride
I got no place I'm goin'
Got nowhere left to hide
'Cause I'm runnin', runnin'
Living on the outside lane, I'm on my track
Now I'm runnin', runnin'
No matter where I go there ain't no turnin' back
So I'm breathin' faster
Hear the hounds are bayin' right behind my back
And I feel that I am just another
Inches way ahead of the pack
That's why I can't be home tonight
Shaky hands, I'm shifting gear
The blood-hounds huntin' down my trail
They call me fugitive they're counting every minute
They'll put a rifle in my hands and
Send me off if I should fail
I gotta play the warlord's game the moment I am in it
I'm not gonna wear your boots and march beyond the border
Seeding death across the lands
Well, I won't kill nobody
Not with these two hands
Cause I'm runnin', runnin'
Living on the outside lane, I'm on my track
Now I'm runnin', runnin'
No matter where I go there ain't no turnin' back
So I'm breathin' faster
Hear the hounds are bayin' right behind my back
And I feel that I am just another
Inches way ahead of the pack
That's why I can't be home tonight
