When I was young, my daddy said
Gotta keep one eye open in your bed
'Cause there's a time coming
When the devil's gonna come for you

So my trigger finger stay prepared
I've got my weapon and I've got my prayers
'Cause if you don't run this town
They'll walk all over you

Run outlaw, gotta run on
Keep on running till the sun goes down
Run outlaw, better on
Run all day till you can't be found
Run outlaw, gotta run on
Keep on running till the sun goes down
You can outrun the devil
But you ain't gonna outrun me

When I was younger, my mama said
Gotta make your green or you'll be seeing red
'Cause if you ain't got none, well
Nobody's gonna come for you

She would tell me tales that would leave me scared
So I made sure to get it through my head
I'm either gonna run this town or walk all over you

Run outlaw, gotta run on
Keep on running till the sun goes down
Run outlaw, better on
Run all day till you can't be found
Run outlaw, gotta run on
Keep on running till the sun goes down
You can outrun the devil
But you ain't gonna outrun me
