On the Run

A man stood in the shadows, his face was dripping sweat,
he took a break from running but he wasn't done yet.
He looked over his shoulder when he heard the barking hounds,
(he) dug his feet into the earth and headed out of town.
Town line's far away,
and he won't sleep for days,
because he just slept with Annie and she's the sheriff's wife,
now the sheriff's men have got him running for his life.
He knew the girl was trouble but he wasn't thinking clear,
when she put her hand onto his leg and filled his life with fear.
A deputy could see them and tracked the sheriff down,
he just had time to grab his clothes and hobble out of town.
Town line's far away,
and he won't sleep for days,
and even if he makes it there's nothing he can do,
but hope and pray the sheriff there hasn't heard the news.
A man stood in the shadows, thinking about the past,
'bout all the women he had known and living life too fast.
He heard a noise behind him, felt the gun against his head,
he should've known the sheriff wouldn't rest 'till he was dead.
Town line's far away,
and he's six feet in the grave.
He's lying there with Annie who was the sheriff's wife,
'till the sheriff and his men robbed them of their lives.
