When I run, I'm still runnin' I can't stop, cause they're still ridin' after me
Relentlessly
Hard night, a hard night, drinking, He acted tough, he wasn't thinkin' he drew on me
Honestly
Maybe fate had put us there, He told the bar he could make me fall
I took him up on the dare, I waited for him to draw
When I run, often stumblin' I often ask, why did all of this fall on me
Desperately
Slow hand, he'd been given, luck for me Now I'm livin' among these trees
Desperately
Maybe fate had put us there He told the bar he could make me fall
I took him up, on his dare, I waited for him to draw
Stone-laid faces eyeing me, I was a stranger in this place
He insisted we proceed, So how's the floor dirt taste
All I needed was a tall cool drink And maybe somethin' to eat
Sure enough, I had bad luck, A man had stumbled onto me
Snot nosed punk, all good and drunk weather beaten from the sun
For All I knew is he was a fool, And the sheriff's son
When I run, I'm still runnin' It's so hard, knowin' that they'll catch up to me
Eventually
A Hard night, a hard night thinking, Funny how the man I killed in the end killed me
The irony
Maybe fate had brought them here I'm the one who made their good friend fall
I took him up on his dare, Beginning of the end of us all
Those damn faces eyeing me, One with a rope in his hand
Just before they could proceed, I said, we're part of the game of draw, don't you understand
