Wanted dead or alive for a crime I couldn't commit I've done worse in my life, of this I will admit Nothing that I've done can be undone or taken away Still I run from my life so I can live another day
So it may be true that I have killed the girl I've committed no crime to god, no sin before the world Drawn no blade, spilled no blood, I've taken no life away So I run from my life so I can live another day
What did they expect me to do, did they want me to sit and wait? To be put to the gallows and hang for hating what was my fate There are many reasons to run and not a one to stay Still I run from my life so I can live another day
Chasing me, the men tenacious, I die to save my life Knowing of what came before, how I did draw the knife Spilled the blood of my only love, I've taken my dreams away So I run from my life so I can live another day
Deceiving the one who hurt the least Betraying the one who cared the most
One day I'll stop and for my soul I will pray But for now I run from my life so I can live another day
