ON THE RUN

i’m on the run, i’m gettin’ away
her pa’s got a gun and he wants me to pay
he caught me and daisy doing things in the barn
somethin’ i was stupid doin’ there on his farm

now i’m in my old truck. drivin’ way too fast
hopin’ my tank don’t run out of gas
i know there’s disaster, waitin’ to happen
his car’s goin’ faster, mine’s just-a crappin’

how could this happen
to a nice guy like me
just out in the barn with his daughter you see
we both agreed we was just havin’ fun
who’d a ever thought that i’d be on the run
now it’s a problem. don’t wanna get caught
until just this moment, i never gave it a thought

her pa is the sheriff and he’s meaner than hell
and i’m a little bit scared this won’t turn out so well
his lights, they’re a flashin’. siren’s burnin’ my ears
he’s all loaded up and that increases my fears

he pulled me over. said get out of that truck
your life is over now son. you’ve run out of luck
i thought it was important to take his advice
so much better than givin’ up the fun in my life

how could this happen
to a nice guy like me
just out in the barn with his daughter you see
we both agreed we was just havin’ fun
who’d a ever thought that i’d be on the run
now it’s a problem. don’t wanna get caught
until just this moment, i never gave it a thought

he said get in my squad car. we’re turnin’ around
and we’re meetin’ my daisy back at the barn
and when we got there he said son
get down on your knees
and beg my sweet daisy to marry you please

i took his advice and i asked my sweet daisy
“marry me darlin’ about you i’m crazy
she just looked in my eyes
and this is her reply
iv’e fallin’ in love with a sexier guy
a sexier guy

how could this happen
to a nice guy like me
just out in the barn with his daughter you see
we both agreed we was just havin’ fun
who’d a ever thought that i’d be on the run
now it’s a problem. don’t wanna get caught
until just this moment, i never gave it a thought
no i never
no i never
i never gave it a thought

now who’s in trouble
daisy or me
or another fella
sexier than me
