Born in West Virginia's coal country
As a small boy with Mama and Dad
They tried their best to raise me right
They gave me the best that they had

But I started to mix with the wrong breed of men
Led by the devil's own cause
I shot a man in Wheeling
And became the runnin' outlaw

I can hear those dogs a-bayin' getting closer to me
I can see those gray prison walls
But I'd rather die than be locked up in jail
That's why I'm the runnin' outlaw
That's why I'm the runnin' outlaw

The night air is freezing the ground is so cold
My body is trembling with pain
God help me I've run out of places to hide
But I must start runnin' again
Sooner or later they'll catch me
My bare feet now bleeding and raw
But daylight must catch me far down the line
'Cause I'm the runnin' outlaw

I can hear those dogs a-bayin' getting closer to me
I can see those gray prison walls
But I'd rather die than be locked up in jail
That's why I'm the runnin' outlaw
That's why I'm the runnin' outlaw
That's why I'm the runnin' outlaw
