Prisoner On The Run Lyrics - Wynn Stewart

There's no telling what might happen if thewy catch me tonight 

Cause I've been running I'm scared and I'm so tired 

They gave me life in prison for a crime I didn't do 

And the judge believed all the lies they told 

But late last night I got my chance hit the guard and climb the fence 

Oh Lord I run like I've never run before 

Now they'll catch me and I know back to prison I must go 

Not until I'll find the one taht I love so 

No not until I'll see the one taht I love so 

Straight to her house I go I must hurry I can't be slow 

For there may not be the time to see my darling 

Her light was burning bright as I looked through the window 

What I saw it made my blood run cold 

For in the arms of my darling was the one who sent me there 

And tears were falling from my eyes as I stood there 

Now I'll go back to that old prison but this time I'll have two reasons 

And both of them are lying in there on the floor 

Yes both of them are lying in there on the floor
