They Won't Let Me Run - John Vanderslice Lyrics


[Verse 1]
I was born
A couple miles from here
My family rented me this house
So my family keeps me near

[Verse 2]
From 1909
My family's run the town
You step out of line, poor sap
Family council will sit you down

[Verse 3]
One day I fell in love
And of course we fucked around
The morning she threw up
My options were all laid out

[Verse 4]
I followed through
And now I got two sons
No peace even when you come
'Cause they won't let you run

No, they won't let you run

[Verse 5]
I got dead drunk
And packed up the pickup truck
Got way out of town, I thought
But sheriff tracked me down

[Verse 6]
They dragged me home
And the family sat me down
They kept me cuffed up and they roughed me up and said:
"We'll never let you run"

No, they won't let me run
