If there's trouble up front then I leave out the back door   Over the furniture and out across the kitchen floor   Down through the garden   Onto my neighbour's back porch      I run so fast when they're on my back   And you would run fast if they were on your back      They want to take me in    For something that I must have did   They want to take me downtown   No, they don't fool around   They're going to take me in   My fingerprint, my fingered skin   I just keep running but they just keep coming      Now I'm back in my neighbour's place   I'm happy none of my neighbours came   I'm halfway to home free   Halfway to the alleyway   I know some day they'll find me   Unless I leave them far behind me      I run so fast when they're on my back   And you would run fast if they were on your back      They want to take me in    For something that I must have did   They want to take me downtown   No, they don't fool around   They're going to take me in   My fingerprint, my fingered skin   I just keep running but they just keep coming      It's all right man, you won't win   And I don't owe you anything   It's all right man, you won't win   And I don't owe you anything   It's all right man, you won't win   And I don't owe you anything   It's all right man, you won't win   And I don't owe you anything
