[Chorus]

I’m runnin’, I’m runnin’, 

I’m runnin’ as fast as I can.

I’m runnin’, I’m runnin’,

I’m runnin’, from the man.


[Verse 1] 

Now one step forward, and two steps back.

I gotta keep going, I can’t look back.

My life keeps flashing before my eyes, 

No family, no friends, I broke all ties.

The next train leaving ‘bout half past ten.

Doubt if this town will see me again.


[Chorus]


[Verse 2]

That big ol’ train stopped at the border.

Checked my pa**port, nothing in order.

They did claim I broke the law.

And then told me I get one call.

I should’ve jumped these rails a long time ago.

Now I’m stuck in jail with no place to go.


[Chorus]
