Life On The Run

Let me tell you a story about my life on the run
I had to buy myself a mask and some bullets and a gun hey hey
whoo whoo whoo
I could use a couple dollars to ride me 'cross state lines too.

I had a donkey for a mama and a monkey for a pa
daddy picked the pockets and mama bucked them off
hey hey
whoo whoo whoo
who would have known I'd wind up to be a criminal too?

I beat up an old punker trying to sell me his stash I'd be high as a kite now but the heat came back
hey hey
high high high
Mr. Policeman understand this explanation of mine.

I had the three meals, the working and the schooling and the man
had the prison walls reflecting all the stupid things I did hey hey
high high high
I had no money but the taxman was treating me right.

When I got out of jail I had no choice but to rob
I'm a pretty smart guy who can't find a job hey hey
oh shucks
found myself a nice store put the man on the floor and ran off with a couple of bucks

There ain't much better than jail than the life on the run you get to have yourself some action get to have yourself some fun hey hey
whoo wee
I'm getting quite a kick out of wrecking people's lives, you see.
