We were caught red-handed 'Cross the county line But I'l take my chances on the lam I'm not doin' time You were drivin' all night You had a blood-soaked dress I was dreamin' restless And you were thinkin' of the rest And when you take a man's life you fall down You fall from the grace of god When you take a man's life you fall down, you fall down, you fall down, you fall down... Red hands, red hands (red, red hands) It's harder livin' on the lam Red hands (red hands) you got those red, red hands A stranger's blood is on my hands Keep my eye on the road 'Cuz I'm out drivin' after midnight And the vultures have all come way down Out of the the sky And the bad ol' things that live in the shadowed corners
Are makin' a plan, they're gonna take away your life And when you take a man's life you fall down You fall from the grace of god And when you take a man's life you fall down You fall from the grace of god And when you take a man's life you fall down You fall from the grace of god When you take a man's life you fall down, you fall down, you fall down, you fall down... Red hands, red hands (red, red hands) It's harder livin' on the lam Red hands (red hands) you got those red, red hands A stranger's blood is on my hands We were caught red-handed 'Cross the county line But I'll take my chances on the lam I'm not doin' time --- .
