Coe, David Allan - Living On The Run Lyrics






Seems like it's rainin' harder today
The rain must of known I was comin' this way
It ain't easy living on the run
If I pick up my step and pull my belt down tight
I can make it to the border by Saturday night
And it's lonely living on the run
I killed me a woman in Tennessee
I just broke jail and they're gunnin' for me
I'm on the run living on the run
I'm on the run living on the run

My woman wanted more than a man could steal
From the bottom of the decks
Where I learned to deal
And it got me me living on the run
Women love an outlaw I heard folks say
And I'll be an outlaw till my dying day
Cause it got me living on the run
I killed me a woman in Tennessee
I just broke jail and they're gunnin' for me
I'm on the run living on the run
I'm on the run living on the run

    David Alan Coe is one of the greatest song writers of all time. This man does not get his due respect.

    Agreed but he lied a good bit and was the but of a few jokes so career plumited after the Johnny cash incident.

    Great song David Allen coe' s best song he is a true fucking outlaw

  43. M.... R....

    If there was an opportunist Mexican which they always steal our music anyways would cover this song in Mexican. But instead of us hunting them they should be like not running from us but running from themselfs. Nobody is hunting them besides their own guilt from fucking over do many young Americans out of high school jobs and college dropout jobs. They should be ashamed and run back to Mexico out of self guilt for destroying California and trying to destroy America with their filthy poverty and needs

    One of the many reasons why I love and respect David Allan Coe is the fact that, while he ended up being a big country music star in the 70's and 80's (and up to today) as well as a very successful songwriter in his own right, he could have been even bigger and more popular/successful than he was/is...and that's saying something as he is one of the most recognizable names of the outlaw country genre. I knew David relatively well, my family lived two doors down from him during the 11 years he lived on key west in Florida. We spoke on many occasions, afew times at length and he told me a great deal of stories and details about his life and career that have pretty much shaped who he became. While it is true that he did end up super successful (10 top ten hit singles and 14 top 25 singles in just two decades, as well as many songs he wrote that became huge hits as covers) he was very much held back by the "my way or the highway" attitude he had regarding his music career choices awhile back. He admits this himself, he wouldn't take the advice of his record label, argued with agents and band members, didn't sing the songs he knew would be hits because he didn't consider them country enough, etc. A pretty big setback to his career came when he released two "X-rated" adult albums that featured racist, homophobic, and sexist lyrics and messages in his songs. While David is the first one to tell you that he is not or ever has been a racist ( his drummer and friend of nearly 20 years is black) there is no denying that some people were going to take those records wrong, even though David said the band was just joking and didn't mean it, he should have seen the blowback coming. He was dropped from his record label (although he immediately signed with another, bigger label) and received hate mail, threats to him and his family, protesters at a handful of concert venues, and negative news coverage. David didn't let this derail him however, as he went on to release 4 more top 25 singles in the mid 80's as well as two cover songs that hit pretty big before he "semi-retired" from songwriting (but he still tours). The point is, David didn't give a shit then and he doesn't now about what people have to say about him or what they think about him. He's as real as they get and he doesn't take any shit and he will respect you as long as you respect him. He is one of my music heroes and no one did it quite like DAC!

    @Joshua Boren
    Ha ha ha! Yeah, kid, let me just share some personal photos someone can use against him afterwards. I have no reason to lie, believe it or not.

    G.... S....

    David Allan Coe owned the beach house two doors down from my grandparents place on Key West, Fla. he has long since moved away from the keys, im pretty sure it was financial issues that forced him to leave, but when I was younger I remember him and his whole crew out on his big front porch singing and playing guitar and fiddle it was awesome. Some nights they'd get pretty drunk and damn near play a whole damn concert that I was usually lucky enough to hear. I stayed there every summer for over 14 years and spoke to David on many occasions, afew times at length. He is about as real and honest as they come, he doesn't sugarcoat anything, he always tells it like it is, and he doesn't care if his opinions or views offend you or anyone else. He is also an amazing songwriter, one of the best country songwriters of the 70's and 80's hands down. He had 8 top ten singles during those two decades and he also wrote songs that were covered by other artists that became huge hits such as "will you lay with me in a field of stone", you never even called me by my

    G.... S....

    one thing about DAC, you can search and search and you will not find a bad song by him. I've been trying for over 40 years and haven't found a bad song yet. Not too many musicians you can say that about. DAC is a living legend. For you sorry ass mother fuckers who gave thumbs down its obvious you haven't lived life yet, and I feel sorry for you for that.
