Wanted dead or alive for a crime I couldn't commit   I've done worse in my life, of this I will admit   Nothing that I've done can be undone or taken away   Still I run from my life so I can live another day      So it may be true that I have killed the girl   I've committed no crime to god, no sin before the world   Drawn no blade, spilled no blood, I've taken no life away   So I run from my life so I can live another day      What did they expect me to do, did they want me to sit and wait?   To be put to the gallows and hang for hating what was my fate   There are many reasons to run and not a one to stay   Still I run from my life so I can live another day      Chasing me, the men tenacious, I die to save my life   Knowing of what came before, how I did draw the knife   Spilled the blood of my only love, I've taken my dreams away   So I run from my life so I can live another day      Deceiving the one who hurt the least   Betraying the one who cared the most      One day I'll stop and for my soul I will pray   But for now I run from my life so I can live another day
