She never knew my name, least not the one my daddy gave me I took off the way I came, moonlight reflectin' off the road She didn't want my story, so I didn't have to lie If I loved her it was only for a night [Chorus] Livin' life on the run, you can't give your heart to no one Your only friend is the settin' sun I, didn't do what they said I done, I gotta Stay one step ahead or one of these days I'm gonna wake up dead Dropped in my tracks by a bullet from a lawman's gun Oh, you can't rest a minute when you're livin' life on the run Here we go The white lines on the road, that's the only trail I leave behind me Been chasin' high-line poles, ever since the night I skipped out of town Somewhere in the distance, is where I need to be All I care about right now is speed [Chorus] Here they come now, gotta lay low Done bent the law 'til the law got broke Here they come now, gotta lay low Low, low, low, low, Here they come now, they're closin' in Pack of bloodhounds gonna catch my scent Here they come now, now gone again Yeah Livin' life on the run, You can't give your heart to no one, You can't rest a minute when you're livin' life on the run No, you can't rest a minute when you're livin' life, on the run
