lyrics

Run run the old dogs run
The moon is calling
And the night is young

Lord, Lord did he do
He shot a man up in Tippecanoe
Wrote his wife and his father too
Said he ain’t coming back no more

Then he headed northwest to do his best
Find himself and lose the rest
But never could quench his quest
Cause they came back to settle the score

He robbed more money
Than to give you time
Seems like the deed
Don’t fit the crime
Break your spirits and take your mind
Til you have no sense of freedom

The Pinkerton boys won’t let me be
and the FBI they got nothing on me
You got your friends and I got mine
And if you can’t join em
Beat em

Now an outlaw’s day is never done
One hand on his loot
And one hand on his gun
One foot in the grave
One foot on the run
You know it’s hard to keep things together

Like Robin Hood or Jessie James
We’re taking money and taking names
Although the ends may be the same
You know the stories last forever
