An innocent man is all that it takes They said they want justice It's an easy mistake They said do unto others, an eye for an eye The jury cried guilty And I've been running all my life
I was born on muddy water On the wrong side of the law I'll take my chance behind the gun I'll tell you one thing for sure Hey, I ain't gonna run no more Ain't gonna run no more
They got the devil on their conscience They got blood on their hands They tried and convicted an innocent man I'm gonna die by the bullet, this I can tell 'Cos they said that they want justice And I'll see them in hell
I was born on muddy water On the wrong side of the law I'll take my chance behind the gun I'll tell you one thing for sure I ain't gonna run no more Ain't gonna run no more Ain't gonna run no more
Oh, I was born on muddy water On the wrong side of the law I'll take my chance behind the gun I'll tell you one thing for sure
I was born on muddy water On the wrong side of the law I'll take my chance behind the gun, yeah, yeah I'll tell you one thing for sure I ain't gonna run no more Ain't gonna run no more I've been running all my life You ain't gonna take me alive
