It's time to run.
They'll string me up for all that I've done.
I'm going soon.
Gonna leave tonight by the light of the moon.
I did it all for you.
I hope you know the lengths I've gone to.
What's a man to say?
They'll be looking for me, I should be on my way.

I wanted everybody else in the world to know it.
I wanted everyone to know you're the girl for me.
I wanted everybody else in the world to know it.
But I ain't never gonna let 'em take my life from me.

I've no regrets.
I will not ask for your forgiveness,
Nor your defense.
Run away with me and it'll all make sense.
I did it all for you.
Don't spurn me after all I've gone through.
No time to rest.
I'm gonna find me a life, baby, way out west.

I wanted everybody else in the world to know it.
I wanted everyone to know you're the girl for me.
I wanted everybody else in the world to know it.
But I ain't never...

I will run but I know that I'm beat,
I decided my fate with my deeds.
[x2]

It's time to run.
I hope you understand what I've done.
I'm gonna wait for you.
Gonna count the days 'til you make it through.
I did it all for you.
I hope you live the life you want to.
My time is spent.
But baby, please don't tell 'em just where I went.

I wanted everybody else in the world to know it.
I wanted everyone to know you're the girl for me.
I wanted everybody else in the world to know it.
But I ain't never gonna let 'em take my life from me.

I wanted everybody else in the world to know it.
I wanted everyone to know you're the girl for me.
I wanted everybody else in the world to know it.
But I ain't never...
