close your eyes tonight
make believe the train will come along and carry me
back where i should be
reach out through the night
and wash away the pain that wasted so much time
and break my heart
break my mind
on the run
on the run
the sheriff come get me
say i'm on the run
on the run
on the run
the sheriff come get me
say i'm on the run
standin' out in the rain
can't remember when i felt so all alone
tired to the bone
but if i have to run
you know i'll keep the thing i've done inside of me
until the hangman sets me free
on the run
on the run
the sheriff come get me
and i'm on the run
on the run
on the run
the sheriff come get me
say i'm on the run
lookin' back on some imaginary time
thinkin' back when i was raised
lookin' at the blackbirds singin' on the line
but they can't sing you back to me
on the run
on the run
the sheriff come get me
and i'm on the run
on the run
on the run
the sheriff come get me
say i'm on the run
do-do-do.
