"Run Away High" lyrics
"Run Away High"
Every nights another bar and a bottle in my hand
These cheap cigars they burn my lungs, but I don't give a damn
All the sins I've made and the time I ought be dead by now
I'm driving down this road, just keep on headed south
Cause I'm coming down off a run away high
These cops are on my tail, but I don't really mind
Cause I could be gone in the blink of an eye
So what's there more to say before I reach the by and by
She met her a good ol' man down in the sticks
He was lookin' sharp as a knife, hell he's probably 36
Well he crossed my path, so I pull out my ol' 6 shot
Then I put a piece of lead right through his heart
Cause I'm coming down off a run away high
These cops are on my tail, but I don't really mind
Cause I could be gone in the blink of an eye
So what's there more to say before I reach the by and by
I'm coming down off a run away high
These cops are on my tail, but I don't really mind
Cause could be gone in the blink of an eye
So what's there more to say before I reach the by and by

William Clark Green - "The One I Was Then" And I've been on the road so long
The straight and narrow I've been on

About the choices...
