[Verse 1]
When I grew up
Way up north on that clay dirt
Under that red sun
My dad told me, "Listen here, boy
Life ain't always gonna be even"
[Chorus]
Now I live my life on the run
Hand on my head, one on the gun
Mama said, "What happened to you, my son?
Why you always on the run?"
[Verse 2]
Mama, take a seat
Lean back a-while I pour us a drink
Father, where you been?
God above knows of all our sins
[Chorus]
Now I live my life on the run
Hand on the clip, one on the gun
Did you miss me enough to drink?
Drink enough to miss your only son
[Verse 3]
Mama, I'm sorry
For what that man has done to you
Father, this is it
God above knows what you did
When I grew up
Way up north on that clay dirt
Under that red sun
My dad told me, "Listen here, boy
Life ain't always gonna be even"
[Chorus]
Now I live my life on the run
Hand on my head, one on the gun
Mama said, "What happened to you, my son?
Why you always on the run?"
[Verse 2]
Mama, take a seat
Lean back a-while I pour us a drink
Father, where you been?
God above knows of all our sins
[Chorus]
Now I live my life on the run
Hand on the clip, one on the gun
Did you miss me enough to drink?
Drink enough to miss your only son
[Verse 3]
Mama, I'm sorry
For what that man has done to you
Father, this is it
God above knows what you did
