|
A man stood in the shadows his face was dripping sweat |
|
He took a break from running but he wasn't done yet |
|
Looked over his shoulder when he heard the barking hounds |
|
Dug his feet into the earth and headed out of town |
|
The town line's far away and |
|
He won't sleep for days |
|
Because he just slept with Annie and she's the sheriff's wife |
|
Now the sheriff's men have got him running for his life |
|
He should have known that girl was trouble but he wasn't thinking clear |
|
When she put her hand onto his leg and filled his glass with beer |
|
But a deputy did see them and tracked the sheriff down |
|
Just had time to grab his clothes and high ball out of town |
|
The town line's far away and |
|
He won't sleep for days |
|
And even if he makes it, there's nothing he can do |
|
But hope and pray the sheriff there hasn't heard the news |
|
A man stood in the shadows thinking about the past |
|
About all the women he had known and living life too fast |
|
But he heard a noise behind him, felt a gun against his head |
|
Should have known the sheriff wouldn't rest till he was dead |
|
The town line's far away and |
|
He's six feet in the grave |
|
He's lying there with Annie, who was the sheriff's wife |
|
Till the sheriff and his men robbed them of their lives |
