[Chorus]
?I’m runnin’, I’m runnin’, ?
I’m runnin’ as fast as I can.?
I’m runnin’, I’m runnin’,
?I’m runnin’, from the man.??

[Verse 1] ?
Now one step forward, and two steps back.
?I gotta keep going, I can’t look back.
?My life keeps flashing before my eyes, ?
No family, no friends, I broke all ties.?
The next train leaving ‘bout half past ten.?
Doubt if this town will see me again.??

[Chorus]??

[Verse 2]
?That big ol’ train stopped at the border.?
Checked my passport, nothing in order.
?They did claim I broke the law.?
And then told me I get one call.?
I should’ve jumped these rails a long time ago.?
Now I’m stuck in jail with no place to go.??

[Chorus]
