Lyrics
Running From The Law
(Bob Dalpe)
With a chill in his heart
He was riding through the night
His clothes were torn
the reigns were tight
He couldn't slow down
He had to stay ahead
There's no time to look back
with a price on your head
(Chorus)
When you're running from the law
and you're close to the end
when the sun let's you down
the moon is your friend
(repeat)
He saw his woman
In another man's arms
He wanted to kill her
but he could do her no harm
He lost his mind
and then he saw red
and with the gun at his side
He shot the man dead
(Chorus)
When you're running from the law
and you're close to the end
when the sun let's you down
the moon is your friend
(repeat and fade)
