Man on the Run

[Acoustic guitar intro] [Verse 1] Girl, you know I prayed to be a richer man But then you wouldn’t be here with me now This ain’t no fall from grace, you understand For I ain’t holier than thou [Verse 2] For some folks life’s a breeze Well, mine’s a thunderstorm They can drag me to my knees I just don’t know how to spell conform [Verse 3] Deep, deep con-tem-plation Why, it’s second nature to me A misspent youth in isolation I swore they’d never set me free [Chorus] I was born to be a Man on the run A sidewinder Man on the run! A constant reminder Of all the bad that I’ve done Guess I was born to be a Man on the run [Verse 4] Men get twitchy when I’m around Trigger happy you might say Chased me down like a deerhound And the Devil let them get their prey [Verse 5] They gotta demand for my surrender But I just don’t know when to quit I maybe a serial offender But I ain’t no hypocrite [Verse 6] You know they want me dead girl That’s why I’m a man on the run But I ain’t finished with this goddam world And I ain’t dead until I’m done [Chorus] I was born to be a Man on the run A sidewinder Man on the run! A constant reminder Of all the bad that I’ve done Guess I was born to be a Man on the run I was born to be a Man on the run A sidewinder Man on the run! A constant reminder Of all the bad that I’ve done Guess I was born to be a Man on the run [Outro]
