  • She never knew my name, least not the one my daddy gave me
    I took off the way I came, moonlight reflectin' off the road
    She didn't want my story, so I didn't have to lie
    If I loved her it was only for a night

    [Chorus]
    Livin' life on the run, you can't give your heart to no one
    Your only friend is the settin' sun I, didn't do what they said I done, I gotta
    Stay one step ahead or one of these days I'm gonna wake up dead
    Dropped in my tracks by a bullet from a lawman's gun
    Oh, you can't rest a minute when you're livin' life on the run
    Here we go

    The white lines on the road, that's the only trail I leave behind me
    Been chasin' high-line poles, ever since the night I skipped out of town
    Somewhere in the distance, is where I need to be
    All I care about right now is speed

    [Chorus]

    Here they come now, gotta lay low
    Done bent the law 'til the law got broke
    Here they come now, gotta lay low
    Low, low, low, low,

    Here they come now, they're closin' in
    Pack of bloodhounds gonna catch my scent
    Here they come now, now gone again
    Yeah

    Livin' life on the run,
    You can't give your heart to no one,
    You can't rest a minute when you're livin' life on the run
    No, you can't rest a minute when you're livin' life, on the run Writer/s: BRETT BEAVERS, DIERKS BENTLEY, JIM BEAVERS
