The Jompson Brothers

On The Run

The wind is blowing, cold at dark
On the road and no way out
Chained to all the things I've done
On the run
On the run

I wear misery like a veil
And I don't get much sleep
A broken heart's a smokin' gun
On the run
On a run

I've been runnin' from the day, runnin' from the night
Washin' my hands on the bloody riverside
Runnin' from the truth, runnin' from a lie
I try to get away, but I just can't hide

Guilty conscience slows me down
And I'm the only friend I've got
So I keep whiskey on my tongue
On the run
On the run

I've been runnin' from the day, runnin' from the night
Washin' my hands on the bloody riverside
Runnin' from the truth, runnin' from a lie
I try to get away, but I just can't hide

On the run
On the run
