Run Like The Devil

4. Run Like the Devil

When my mama moved south she was chasing a man

Who was chasing the American dream

The one with women and wine, driving fast, doing time

Spreading wildfire and misery

And it seeped in the ground, in the water, the air

In our hearts and our bodies it seems

Now Ryan's out on parole, Dylan's 19 years old

Dealing junk and shooting off steam

And as for me, I've been dancing at Betty's again

Jesus Christ, hallelujah, amen

Well come on my brothers let's go find some trouble

We better run like the devil, run like the devil

Out of this town

Well we might bring some fame to the family name

We ain't had no luck climbing up

Let 'em take us down

So we put all our guns in the blue Buick trunk

And from then there was nothing but noise

Robbed a bank in Algiers, dumped the car in Eau Claire

Felt my first little glimmer of joy

We were cutting our teeth when we made that man bleed

And when we mixed the weed and the wine

We took the AK47 in a 7-11

And they chased us across another state line

And then we saw our faces on the six o'clock news

I said come on boys we got nothing, nothing to lose

Well come on my brothers let's go find some trouble

We better run like the devil, run like the devil

Out of this town

Well we might bring some fame to the family name

We ain't had no luck climbing up

Let 'em take us down

Well they took us in alive

Outside of Maryville, Missouri

Tell me who you have to kill these days

To get a little blaze of glory

Well come on my brothers let's go find some trouble

We better run like the devil, run like the devil

Out of this town

Well we might bring some fame to the family name

We ain't had no luck climbing up

Let 'em take us down

We ain't had no luck climbing up

Let 'em take us down

We ain't had no luck climbing up

Let 'em take us down
